ps I'm pretty proud of what I have raised so far. It is more than I have earned this year (but oddly more than what I have spent)
Thanks, it's been 4 years, so emotions aren't as raw as they were, but it does still hit me occasionally with this process.

What amazes me most is how incredibly generous people are, almost everyone I have asked has given, and even some I haven't!

You're really close to your goal. Best of luck, it's a real weight off once you hit it.
