Anyone who has put together and ran a Kickstarter campaign knows it’s an absolute beast and the most stressful days of your life 
.
..
So why do we do them? Because we care about the product (book) and it’s message.
.
For Super Max’s Hero Surprise, the message is strong. It’s one of hope and gratitude. For the families of the armed forces currently living through their loved ones being deployed and hoping they all come home safe.
.
And for the veteran families who were there before. We were there once, a long time ago, and it was stressful.
.
So this book is for all the families going through deployment and who have been through it. We thank you for your continued service.
