Funding 

I have a nearly overwhelming aversion to self promotion, but... here goes:

I have self-funded all adventures and survivorship work.  I skirted financial disaster to pay off all hospital bills.  I go without to live debt free.   While recovering, I managed to rebuild a semblance of an academic career.  I again design and teach online courses in environmental sustainability because it is the most responsible way to pay for my life’s daily journey.   But I have learned a humbling lesson, one that I have resisted using:  The more help I get, the more good I can do.  This is because I consider ALL that I do, including how I conduct my life, as a social movement.   Consequently, any assistance I receive allows me to give more of my time and energy to inspiring others.  Practically, one might call it "developing better outreach" – such as improving this website, or presenting at survivor events.  It goes nowhere else.  Currently, for presentations and collaborations I only ask for expenses.  If this mission takes off, I would love to see it as a nonprofit entity (actually it already is), but that will evolve in time.
​
Any amount earns my gratitude and a public thank you (unless you wish to remain anonymous) and thereby the gratitude of all the world around us.
Thank you in advance-
Shaun
