You guys are incredible.
In just five days (I received my first donation on January 24th, and today is the 28th), you have contributed $1,975.00 to my fundraising effort. I am solidly in 1st place, out of a pool of 59 fundraisers who have signed up for the Austin event at Dell Children's Medical Center. It's simply amazing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
So, how do the votes break down? It was close, at the start.
There have been 50 votes cast in favor of the head shave, there were 36 against, and 3 abstentions.
However, a pair of benefactresses absolutely took my breath away last night when they cast 100 votes in favor of me keeping the hair. That's $1000.00. I was speechless. And you all know, I'm never speechless!
Anyone who wants to see my bare scalp has some work to do to balance out those votes!
I'm continuing to spread the word, and hope you'll help me. I completely understand if you're not able to contribute financially right now -- seeing my blog following grow will make me just as happy. And of course, forwarding this message on to others (especially to your own families and friends who know me, or who knew Stephen) doesn't cost a thing. You could also post it to your Facebook "Wall" for a day, and generate interest among your friends there!
Make sure they all know to end their donation dollar amount in a 1 if they're pro-shave, and a 0 if they say no way!
I'm in love with the world right now -- more than anything, thank you for restoring my faith in human kindness. You all rock. Truly.
