How Many Ways Can I Say Thank You?

I have said it before and I am sure I will say it many more times, I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!   I have a great relationship with my parents and siblings; I have a loving husband and beautiful daughter; I have a great career, awesome boss and wonderful co-workers; I live in a lovely home in a great neighborhood with a fantastic school system, and yet every day I find something else to be grateful for.
Last week I started a fundraising page for the upcoming annual DTRF Patient Symposium and Running for an Answer charity event.  While I will not be able to attend this year’s conference, I thought it is my duty to help support the foundation and my fellow Desmoidians with this simple task. 
Setting up my page took little effort on my part.  It was fairly simple.  I had to complete a registration page and set a goal.  Easy, right?  The hardest part is asking my friends, family, co-workers, companies and strangers to support yet another cause. But the truth is if I am not willing to standup and ask folks to help with this important cause who will? 
So I set up my page.  Like I said, simple.  Next, I posted it on my Facebook page.   Then, I created a Facebook event and invited my entire network of over 300 people to join in this online event.   In addition on October 3rd, I will host a Premier Jewelry party where 30% of the net proceeds will be donated to my cause.     
Today we live in this social media dynasty where with one simple click of the button you can reach hundreds if not thousands of people in less time than it takes to order a pizza…Quite frankly it has never been easier to reach people then it is today. 
So with this post, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed thus far.  I am truly humbled and in awe of your love, support and generosity. To those of you who have yet to donate, I urge, I PLEAD with you to consider (even just $1) donating to this worthy cause.  As I have stated in previous posts, we are on our own to find a cure and we cannot do it without you. 

THANK YOU!!!! YOUR THE BOMB!!!! YOUR AWESOME!!!!  
P.S. A Special Shout out goes to Captain Birdseye, Truline Industries and Putman Media for their extremely charitable donations.   
xoxo,
Faith
