Our last update! Can you believe it? So much has gone on since launching on Sept 3rd that I’m not quite sure I can do it justice in recapping. That said this was a very humbling experience. I’ve had so many folks keep out privately, share their story, and give words of encouragement. More than a few of them brought me to tears.
Breaking Down the Numbers:
At the time I’m writing these are our numbers with $21,934 pledged:
- ~$10,000 cash donation to Friends of Kids with Cancer
- 189 books for Friends of Kids with Cancer!!!
- 554 backers
- Average pledge $39.59
- 6,980 visitors to our IGG page
- 8% of visitors pledged (this is outstanding!)
- Our largest direct link source of backers was this article at DnD Beyond.
- Over 100 backers went straight from there to IGG to pledge!
- We have backers from 25 different countries!
- Our best single day of pledges was $3,297 on Sept 16th
- Average daily total for pledges $685
Breaking Down the Book:
I’m expecting the book to be ~130-150 pages. In which you will find:
- 10 adventures
- 50 pieces of original art
- 12 maps
- 8 pre-generated characters
- Selections from Harper’s original notes
- “How Rose Got Her Mermaid Hair” by Harper and Matt Corley
We are NOT quite done yet! Please spread the word on this project and the good that it’s doing.
Thank you!
Matt, Harper, and Team

These amazing kiddos (and the equally amazing Teri!) are all part of the Living Proof group at Pedal the Cause. They're the reason we're working so hard, raising funds, and donating books.
With just 4 days left to go we're at a bit over $21,000. I have some updates on the book! Two more chapters have been written and sent to final editing, and more concept drawings came in.
That's all I've got for now and I'm very excited about where we are with the book. Please share via whatever outlets you have so that we end on a strong note!
Thanks!

The last week of our campaign starts tomorrow, and what a wild ride it’s been! We have 500+ backers and $20,000+ in pledges! When we get to $27,000 Harper’s Tale will be Friends of Kids with Cancer's top non-corporate/event fundraiser ever! Can you imagine it? I can ?
Before getting too far ahead of ourselves I’d like to take a moment to write an update that I meant to post weeks ago. I’m going to toot everyone’s horns a little by sharing some of their contact info and creations.I cannot count the words they've produced (literally millions), awards the won (buckets), or games they've created so I have a list below for you to peruse.
Please take a moment to check them out. This is a very diverse and fantastic group. I couldn’t be happier to part of this amazing ensemble, and they've worked very work to make this a success.

I can't say much other than I'm humbled, excited, and proud of everything that all of us are doing to help Friends of Kids with Cancer.
The book is coming along great and here are a few early concept drawings for the book from the talented Anna Landin.
Thanks and only a week left!
