From Mike Wasserman at The Bottom Line:
I want to thank everyone for putting in a great amount of effort on fundraising over the past 6 weeks. As a team, we have raised nearly $22,500! That is phenomenal.
Just to put everything into perspective, the amount of money we've raised over the past 6 weeks has already provided Bottom Line with the resources to support every student whose profile we read at our kick-off meeting for an entire year, and MORE!
I have many more miles to go and please make your donation today!

Thank You Murali!!

Thank you to Murali Vajapeyam for donating to my cause!! I appreciate that you took the time out to think of others in need. :-)
I am 1/4 of the way to reach my goal, with your help, I reached $2060.00!!! I have many more miles to go in my training. Tonight, the training schedule calls for a 3 mile run, but I'm going to push it to 5 and weight lift afterwards. My muscles are getting sore after I run more than 8 miles :-) Everyday, I'm getting stronger and faster.
New Years Day is around the corner, anyone have any good resolutions? I'll post some of mine in the coming days. Stay tuned.
He who is not courageous enough to take
risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Birthmas night
In this very special week, my support reached far and wide. My benefactors came far from Afghanistan, Hawaii/Toronto and California!
I have a special shout out to a great guy that I met when I was in London, England, Jeff Hushley. We met in summer of 2005 and stay pen pals even though he and his wife are on far west side of the US-Hawaii!!
Jeff and Anne Hushley, THANK YOU for your support as benefactors and friends. I am beaming with gratitude, my grin is from ear to ear. :-D
Ray Wu, PLP represent!! Thank you for your help as well! You are now part of my circle :-P No, really, with your help, I am able to reach my goals to help the Bottom Line.
Last, but certainly not least, my friend, mentor, founder of Shackleton Schools, and fellow adventurer, Luke O'Neill, I can never thank you enough for helping in my personal development. You were always there for me when I needed your help and again, you are in the wind of my sails pushing me forward. I learned so much about altruism and the meaning of social responsibility from you. I just hope that I can inspire others to serve their community the way you inspired me!! On behalf of the Bottom Line, Thank You for helping students achieve their dreams!
Best Christmas EVER! I raised $1811.00 in electronic donations and another 145.00 in check/cash donations. Bringing my total to: $1956.00!! I held no expectations about raising money. I hope now to reach $2,500.00 by midnight, and if I do not, I won't be disappointed.
