Beer in a feeding tube poster, for a good cause
Dustin "UPSO" Hostetler told me about his friend Patrick O'Brien, a young filmmaker who is suffering from a terminal disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, AKA Lou Gehrig's Disease. Given just 2 to 5 years to live, Patrick decided to start a 35mm film documentary about his experience in the hopes of making "a difference in the way our government and our world sees this ugly, spirit punishing, insidious illness." He's launched a foundation to seek financial help in finishing the film and support ALS research. One way to donate is to buy this poster of Patrick, made from a photograph by Timothy Saccenti, for $20. "And yes," Dustin says, "they really poured beer in his feeding tube."
