5th year has been one of the most challenging years so far, but also the most enjoyable. I loved the surgical exposure and (in certain blocks) feeling like I was a valuable member of a team!

But what blew me away more than anything else was how quickly I reached my funding target - In other words, you, who have shared and contributed to my campaign! I cannot say thank you enough.

While I have made some miscalculations in terms of the amount that I need, and also failed to incorporate the 12% fee (administrative and otherwise) from the platform, the amount that I have raised will take a massive load off my shoulders. At this time I will not be increasing my target to reflect the miscalculation as this would surely undermine my overwhelming gratitude for all the support I have received, however I will be leaving this page open as any donation will still make a significant difference.

Because of you I will be able to step into my 6th and final year with a much lighter load and a renewed sense of hope.

And don't you worry, you will still be able to find me at Beefcakes on weekends... for at least 1 more year! ;)
