I am going to update you again tomorrow, but right now, on our online donation site we have $6,055 and we have at least $200 in offline donations that have yet to be entered....probably close to $500 actually. So, I am going to say that, currently, we have approximately $6555 in donations...completely blowing away my cautious $500 estimate. haha

Honestly, our online donation page through our organization was a huge help. The fact that we're raising money to help children and families affected by Congenital Heart Defects really spoke to a lot of people. We used our best assets, our children and their stories, to pull in donations. We do this because of them. We touched a lot of people who donated from what they have, and that's saying a lot in today's economy. We are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for our organization, our children and ourselves. We are also humbled by the number of people who are taking time out of their Sunday to run/walk with us.

Oh, and being an MSU alumna, I am excited about "Heart of a Spartan!" I hope to get IMH - Metro Detroit involved in that!
