Michelle,
I really hope you get a great turn-out for all of the hard work you have put into this. I wish the fundraising for Diabetes went over this well in my community. We used to have a couple fundraisers a year for Diabetes.
Like Landshark (who is an awesome person whether she believes it or not) said, I too would like to speak with you when I get there about your methods and what you have done to get this started.
Take care and see you soon,
Sarah
