Congratulations on being the top fund raiser... that is amazing! I'm curious to know if you did anything special to raise that amount of money. I'm creating a team next year for my company and I want to give the new team memebers some fund raising success stories. Do you mind sharing with me some of the things you have done to be so successful?

David (5/25/08 3:00AM): Dan,
Kudos on your valiant fund raising efforts -- not a feat for the faint of heart. And speaking of heart, you've touched mine by sharing your story about how this disease not only attacks one's body, but how it can devastate one's spirit as well. I too found myself, some 21 years ago - a sophomore in college, faced with an HIV diagnosis and the realization that my life would invariably be cut short by AIDS. And though, so far, I've managed to beat many of the odds from a health standpoint, I've often struggled with how to reconcile an HIV+ status within the greater scope of my life. Thank you for being the model of courage and grace to which I aspire.
Thanks again for all you do, and here's to you reaching your goal -- you're the man!
Godspeed
