Earlier this year, Julie Nimoy, Leonard Nimoy<\/strong>‘s daughter, announced that she would be producing a new documentary with her husband David Knight<\/strong> on COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).<\/p>\n

Fundraising for the movie is currently in progress and is already almost halfway to its goal of $500,000.<\/p>\n

“After my dad’s untimely passing due to complications related to COPD, my husband and I committed ourselves to continuing his mission and his message,” said Julie.<\/p>\n

“The production team is honored to be contributing our time to make this project a reality,\u201d said co-producer David Knight. “And we’re offering an opportunity for Star Trek<\/em> fans and people from around-the-world concerned with COPD to show their support through our crowd funding campaign. Along with the COPD Foundation<\/em>, we’ve set up a donation site http:\/\/www.firstgiving.com\/fundraiser\/COPDFilm\/Nimoy for anyone who wishes to support our project. Ten percent of all donated funds will be directed toward COPD research.”<\/p>\n

“COPD: Highly Illogical<\/em> showcases the latest advances in the fight against Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, including state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery from BioLucid<\/em> that promises to show the audience a spectacular view from inside the body.”<\/p>\n

Donors will receive a “special, limited-edition commemorative gift personally signed and numbered by Leonard’s daughter Julie Nimoy. In addition, all donors will be listed on the film\u2019s Tribute Page, appearing in the closing credits.”<\/p>\n

“We invite you to support this meaningful project,” said Dr. Richard Casaburi<\/strong>, medical advisor for the film. “Please join us and shed light on COPD–a disease that affects so many people we know and love.”<\/p>\n
