Well friends, Chapter One of my story has been written, and beautiful, thanks to you.

$15,500 later – every single one of you has blessed me infinitely more than I can even express.  You helped me meet my goal, and I am so overjoyed, blown away, completely humbled. THANK YOU.

Any money that is given in my name from here on out will go towards my team (the 'J' SQUAD, REPRESENT! Wha wha?!) and our general team expenses.

Now, it's time for my team to GO and SERVE!

[ S P E C I A L  T H A N K S ]

This list could go on forever, but I want to thank a few of you specifically. I don't want this to embarrass you – but I just want to express how grateful I am for your kindness – so thanks to:
