A nice letter

I just got a really nice note from Maggie at the American Cancer Society in Chicago. Thought I would share with everyone:

Hi Lisa,

I just wanted to take a quick second to say CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU for your fundraising efforts thus far. You have already surpassed the fundraising minimum with a couple of months to spare. To me, the fundraising minimum represents a free one-night stay at an American Cancer Society Hope Lodge. This is where my friend, Clif, stayed when he received treatment for a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. The free lodging provided by ACS, and made possible because of people like you, was one less burden for him and his family to worry about as they dealt with his difficult diagnosis. To see how hard you're working and how great your fundraising is going just makes me so thankful to have you on our team. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'd love to hear what your fundraising goal means to you -- please feel free to share.

I encourage you to continue fundraising all the way until the event (and even the weeks after). I have attached our fundraising incentives so you can see what levels we have. Although earning something like a DetermiNation hoodie is awesome (which it is!), perhaps the biggest incentive you have is to know how your money could be used in the fight against cancer.

Thanks again! I look forward to seeing what your fundraising total is when all is said and done.

Sincerely,
Maggie

So let's not disappoint her. Help me raise more money! Donate here! I'm soooooo close to reaching $2000.00. Let's do it!
