First I would like to say thank you to all of you that helped by donating money toward making a dream come true for me! 

I only have just over a week left to try and make my goal, and be able to have this one last celebration before I become too sick! Imagine what it is like to know that you have an expiration date. Take a second, and imagine what it would be like to have so many things left that you want to do, but because of chronic illness you have never been able to do even the small things like taking your kids to the zoo or going away overnight with your spouse for a special occasion! Then imagine being told that after 20 years of suffering, and missing out on all the normal things families do, that you only have a few years left, and that in those few years you are going to get progressively sicker, and you will have even less of a chance to make any of your dreams come true, or make the difference in life that you wanted to make! Now wouldn't you try to do whatever you could to do that one last thing before you just won't be able anymore! This is what this fundraiser is all about! As embarrassed as I am to have to ask other people to help, as low as that makes me feel, it means more to me to be able to do this, than to try, and hide it, and just muddle through! This is my one last attempt to ask you to please consider helping, it would me so very much to one persons life! Thank you for all your support!
