And if that wasn't enough!

And if that video wasn't enough! Here is a letter the filmmaker sent to a prominent talk-show host:

About a year ago, our friend, 33 year old Santa Barbara firefighter, Tyler Gilliam was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen and chest. Since then, he's been through 4 massively invasive surgeries and spent over 80 days in the hospital.

His girlfriend Amber has supported and cared for him throughout the ordeal. A few months back, he proposed and they're now engaged. In January, they entered a contest to win a Southern California Dream Wedding. Out of over 600 applicants, their story was chosen for the top 10.

It was then up to a public to vote for the couple they felt should win their dream wedding. On February 11th, Tyler went in for his 4th surgery. The following day, the voting closed and Tyler and Amber had nearly twice as many votes as the second place couple. Thousands more.

They were ecstatic. Finally, something good was happening for them. This wedding was the momentum shift they needed.

Then, on Valentine's Day, while Tyler recovered in the hospital, the contest announced they had chosen the second place couple to receive their dream wedding. It seemed the rule was that the winners would be chosen by the sponsors from the top three vote getters.

It was devastating to them. At first, I was outraged at this contest. And then I thought, everything happens for a reason. And the reason is, they deserve something much, much better. I'm on a mission to see that they get the true wedding of their dreams.

To give you an idea of how much Tyler means to this community, please see this short documentary of four fellow firefighters who ran 94 miles over three days to surprise Tyler at his hospital room while he was going through chemotherapy.

Is there anything you can do to help us give them the wedding they deserve?

Thank you so much for doing what you do!
