    I'm a little bit worried that it isn't rising fast enough. Does anyone know the trajectory from last year?

    It went up.

    (I seem to remember that it stalled quite significantly and that it was mainly a few large donations near the end that shoved it over the line, but I may be wrong)

    That's a good question.

    Could the crowdfund for David Tuller be put on front page of forum for this month.? I'm sure it is on everyone's mind but just in case it would serve as a reminder to all.

    We don't really have a 'traditional' front page to the forum, however I could add an additional banner advertising the crowdfund in the same way as our regular one advertises the News in Brief posts? e.g.
    Screen Shot 2019-04-05 at 11.52.56.png
    Like all banners, this one can be dismissed by clicking the "x" at the far right hand side of it (which I've cut off of the example above).

    Last year someone offered matched funding towards the end. Maybe the same will happen this year.

    They’re all busy at the moment the Congress advocacy and the NIH event I don’t imagine they’ve got many spare minutes

    I’m lucky to have paid off my mortgage and don’t have big expenses now I’m retired and don’t do very much socialising so I will definitely be stumping up again at the end If needed.

    $38,525, 40% of target, 378 donors.

    UK: 154
    US: 69
    Norway: 40
    Aus: 30

    @dave30th , have you done something to annoy most of the US pwME which might explain why they aren't donating?? ;)

    I wonder if some people hold off until nearer the end of the campaign to see what the trajectory is looking like before deciding whether to donate or how much.

    That seems logical - why donate scarce money if it's already on target.

    To hold back until it appears it's definitely necessary to make the sacrifice would seem to suggest that most of the people giving can't actually afford to.

    But do it anyway, once it appears it is necessary to hit target.

    Or that people are largely having to cut back to save money for this, then just before the deadline donate what they have managed to save.
