Earlier this week I received a wonderful gift.

Meredtih Maples, from the American Cancer Society, presented me with a beautiful plaque acknowledging my "exemplary service." I am touched and honored by this show of appreciation, and wish to pass along my gratitude to everyone who contributed to my fundraising efforts. To date, 60 people have contributed funds totalling $2,257 dollars! Wow! Thank you all for helping me to prove that one dedicated soul truly can make a difference, especially with the help of their community. ; )
