    WooHoo! Way to go! I must say, never having met you in person, it was weird to see your face and HEAR your voice at the same time! Thanks for sharing the video link.

    Hi Ali,
    I have been a reader of your blog for sometime - just wanted to comment and say, firstly, congratulations on the incredible things you are achieving, and secondly - isn't it amazing how life unfolds? I am certain you never envisaged such a platform when you first starting scrapbooking, but now the doors are unfolding and you are also able to do incredible things for an incredible cause! (You did the best with what you have!)
    Well done you, and here is to many more doors.

    Ali, you are such an amazing person! And you're doing such an amazing thing with this fundraiser! You seem to have this incredible ability to unite people behind your cause. I was almost in tears of happiness for you, watching the news clip. I feel as if you are a friend and I had never even heard your voice before! I know what you are doing seems big now, but I think that it is only the tip of the iceberg for you! And we will be behind you every step of the way! Well done to you!

    WOW!!! Ali, I am so proud of you! What you are doing for your son and for all children with Autism is really amazing. One day when Simon is taller than you, he'll realize what an incredible Mom he has :) Only wish I had a bit of celebrity to help raise money for my son's disease! Keep on going girl - you are truly a special force in this world.
