The last time we gave an update on the fundraising project of Simon “Tank” Jameson to upgrade to a better mobility chair to do all-terrain airsoft, it  was over a month ago and that his target funding goal has reached the half-way mark. It looks like that it slowed down somehow as €13,957 has been raised so far as of this writing. The amount is already substantial but still €6,000 off the mark.

This means that another big push is needed to push the needle to “funding goal” achieved on GoFundme.com. With already 313 individuals pledging their support in whatever amount they can, Tank needs a bit more from the airsoft community and other individuals who want to see him succeed.

With this, Taller Stories have come up with a new video in support of Project Tank 2.0. putting up "TANK - Simon Jameson’s Story" on Vimeo and Facebook (already shared over 3,000 times):

Some stories deserve to be told. The story of Simon Jameson is one of them.

Simon Jameson is not a normal 27 year old. Not because he suffers a terminal condition and is wheelchair bound, but because he doesn't let that stop him from running his life and holds more optimism and enthusiasm than most people I've ever met.

I wanted to make this documentary to shine light on his Warrior persona, and how one sport has brought him through all the hardships he's faced in life.

As we go into our Easter Break, the release of the video is apt to make us contemplate on how lucky we are to be able to play an honourable game we call airsoft.  For Tank, it is not as simple as that as he has fewer faculties to effectively play than we do. The mobility chair, the support of his team and the Irish airsoft community are all that get him to play. So just imagine and put yourselves in his shoes, or in this case, on his wheelchair and try to play airsoft. I am pretty sure you will get to understand his frustration even better than you do now.

Let’s all work to help Tank get Tank 2.0.
