Back in September when I signed up to participate in AIDS Lifecycle, I had no idea what I was in store for. The training up the hills of the bay area, the new friends I'm making - and the rewarding experience of fundraising. Fundraising is intimidating stuff - but ya'll here on Livejournal (along with friends over on Facebook and Flickr) really helped me fundraise like a gangbuster.

This morning I reached my $10,000 goal. Powered by "Tell Bob McDiarmid to Shut up" on Facebook - I raised $1010 in five hours and put my fundraising over the top. The way people have come out to support my efforts to raise as much money as possible is positively overwhelming. $10,000 seemed like an impossible goal - but ya'll proved me wrong.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

I'll still be accepting donations all the way up until June 5th when I roll out on my seven day bike ride to Los Angeles...
