WOW.

No, Ali, it's all because of YOU, and I'm honored to be able to contribute to something so very special and important. Keep up the good work!

This so makes me happy after a crappy day at work. Thinking that I was a small contribution to a big piece of wonderful. The generosity and kindness is wonderful, and all brought together by scrapbooking. You rock Ali. Thank you.

Wow. It jumped! The power of positive media. ;)
Yahoo!

I so want you to end up in the number one spot! Does that mean it would be better if we donated more often with lesser amounts? Not that I'm competitive or anything... :)

They're ranked by the number of donations, not the dollar amount.
At this moment, the #1 has 424 donations for $9705. Ali's badge is #2 with 411 donations for $10615.
I've posted her badge at BlueOregon.com, and written up a story about it too... Great pic of Ali & Kevin Bacon.

Sooo cool Ali! Great interview! Kim

Isn't this awesome? Do you think you can get 1000 donations by the end of the month? I bet you can... wish I could give again to up that number!

How Wonderful! What a great interview. Glad that the word is spreading even further!

How wonderful. I love a challenge, but I love winning a challenge even more. I added your badge to my blog site. Thanks to Blue Oregon for adding a link to the iframe code. I know that your badge will finish on top :)

I so LOVE you for doing this and wow what a huge ammount of money you have already raised. Since we as forneigers can't donate I donated some money to a funding here in the Netherlands.
Love Corinnexxx

Sooo very happy for you! My gosh, this so amazing! As I am reading your post, the comments and the newspaper articles, I'm choking up. I just want to give you a bih huge hug! I wish I could donate again! :)

Dude, Mr Bacon is so going to be paying up!!!
Did I tell you I have a six degrees to Kevin Bacon of my own? My sociology professor I had in college is Kyra Sedgewick's sister. So Me to the professor to Kyra to Kevin.
Now I can say I have another six degrees to Kevin Bacon. Me listening to him on TV to you starting this awesome momentum for Autism speaks to him forking over the cash!
Wohoo!!

Wow, that's great.

So wonderful. Ali you have inspired so many people to act! I too have added a badge to my blog and would not have done so without your success.

This is wonderful news, Ali. You really have been a spark that is creating a better world for so many.

10,000 dollars is a LOT of money! That is so awesome! Wish there were more people like you in this world. Or just wish the world checked out your web site and donated to the badge!
