\"eye-candy-andy-whitfield-12\"<\/a>Andy Whitfield was an amazing Australian actor who many of us would have seen in the first season of the Starz show Spartacus<\/a>. If you haven\u2019t, check it out – there\u2019s something for both the ladies & the men plus a fair bit of violence. He was also in All Saints, Packed to the Rafters & McLeod\u2019s Daughters<\/p>\n

Sadly Andy passed after an 18 month battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, aged 39. After his diagnosis Andy invited a camera to follow him throughout his journey as he explored both medical and alternative healing option in Australia, New Zealand and India. Led by the Academy Award\u00ae Nominated and multiple award winning filmmaker, Lilibet Foster, a camera followed Andy and his gorgeous family\u2019s unfolding story, for over a year. Andy also filmed personal diaries and took photographs throughout his journey. Together with the support of Sam Maydew, producer, Andy\u2019s manager and principal of talent management and production company, The Collective, who brought everyone together, the documentary has gotten to a certain point.
But this doco needs our help. They have created a Kickstarter project looking to fund the additional filming and editing needed to finish the film. For your contributions, you will not only be rewarded with amazing, limited edition and collector’s item gifts, but you will be helping to make Andy\u2019s wish come true \u2013 to help or inspire others \u2013 because the plan is to distribute the completed film as widely as possible internationally.<\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s Spartacus co-star, and friend, Jai Courtney discusses the project in the video below along with a few sneak peaks of the film. Have tissues handy.<\/p>\n

Please support this Kickstarter<\/a>, even if it\u2019s only $5. Let\u2019s help make Andy\u2019s wish come true. Let\u2019s \u201cBe Here Now\u201d and live life in the present.<\/p>\n

You can also follow the film\u2019s progress on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to this Kickstarter project. I\u2019m just a huge fan of Andy\u2019s and would love to see this story out there to help and inspire other.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
