Thanks...

Over the weekend, I did a Facebook message blitz for my fundraiser. "The $2.75 Facebook Challenge." The idea was that if every one of my Facebook friends who hadn't yet donated gave $2.75, I would reach my goal. Even though some of my friends did not respond, many others gave more than that (it's actually a pain in the butt to only donate $2.75). By the end of the weekend, I'd raised about $900 towards my goal - almost exactly $1 for each of my Facebook friends.


This is my status on Facebook this morning:

"You commit to these projects alone, for your own reasons. You know in your heart it's what you want to do, no matter what anyone else thinks or would do in your place. And along the way, your friends tell you that you made a good choice, that you're doing the right thing, that they wish they could join you. And you realize how much easier it is to meet a personal challenge with the moral support of loving people. You guys really rock."

Thanks, everyone who has donated so far. I'm 3/4 of the way there!
