Reaching my Goal

I have done it! With the help of friends, family and stragers here on the zoo I've reached my fundraising goal for a cancer walk I'm doing in a couple of weeks!!!

So Far I've raised $535 dollars!

28 people...some best friends...some people I've never met helped donate from all over the US! I was really impressed with the diverse group who are helping find a cure. So thank you!!!!! Also...it still is not too late to donate. The walk is just over a week away.
Here are the states people have donated from:

Connecticut
Mass.
New York
Rhode Island
Michigan
Oregon
Illinois
Arizona
Washington D.C

Impressive!

Thanks again,

Ben

Rick, sorry to hear about your dad. Hang in there with him. We know so much more about cancer than we used to and there are many new wonderful medicines today. Yes, I know about them first hand and I'm still standing! Your dad will be in my thoughts.
