I am proud to say that I know very generous people.
I have only been collecting money for a week, and I am already 82% towards the original goal of $2000. There are so many people I have already thanked for helping me get to this point. (You can check out the list of them on the right.) But I have had to make the executive decision to raise my goal.
I have set the new number at $5000. I am under no illusions; I may not make this new number, but damn it, I’m willing to try. Also, knowing certain people as I do, if I don’t raise the goal they won’t donate, relinquishing their philanthropy because others beat them to the punch. I must not deny these people the ability to feel a part of righting the wrong God made when He gave me all this hair.
Everybody who has donated thus far comes from lives led both present and past. While I may not be able to mention each person in the blog anymore – rest assured I will lengthen the “heroes” list as necessary – I will still personally thank each and every person in an individual way. Each day I am humbled by the fact that people respect the cause (and me) enough to donate. All those things I heard years ago are more true today:
· it is only hair
· people you trust know the real person inside
· not for college days alone
Back to the gags next time.
