It's been a while and for that I apologize. I completely forgot to check in on new comments etc.
Progress has been made tho and right now Books are arriving all over the world.
Fulfillment will be continuing over the next few weeks, if you haven't heard anything by the first week of July, please let me know so I can chase this for you.
Thanks for joining me I know this isn't a traditional crowdfunding project but I am so pleased so many people have pledged which in turn will help so many families.
Have a great weekend! See you Monday with more updates on the charities chosen by the supporting partners
Thanks for reading this and joining me for a journey across The Big Sea. My name is Martyn and I wanted to give you a quick overview of why this campaign, what it is and maybe show you the human side of creators like me.
The Big Sea came about after a cancer scare I had in 2021 and in to 2022, I had a large lump appear on my arm and the doctors, hospital and other medical staff were concerned as it has all the characteristics of a rare vascular cancer. I had to wait several months to have it removed and sent off for tests, this was the scariest time of my life and it really got me thinking.
The Lump which grew fairly large
I am fine now, thankfully but after losing a grandparent to ‘The Big C’ and her not really talking about her experience and me doing the same, it got me thinking and I wanted to create an aid or tool that families could use to open up and create discussions around topics like this.
With the help of Peter from The Story Engine and the artist The Mico, what you see today is that, a book which (I HOPE) will help many families.
Since late 2016 I have worked in the boardgame industry and I am so happy 15 publishers or so have come on board and said they will donate money to a charity close to them for every book sold, So until we reach 1000 books, £10 per book sold will be split and donated to various Charites.
Thanks for reading and I am here to answer any questions you may have :)
I hope you all had a great weekend and got some much deserved rest. Today our partner is Final Frontier Games.
Final Frontier Games have chosen SOS Children's Villageto be the recipient for funds they are donating.
SOS Children’s Villages is the world’s largest organization focused on ensuring that children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it grow up with the care, relationships and support they need to become their strongest selves.
A huge thanks to Final Frontier for helping raise awareness on something so important.
