I just donated, thank you Ali for raising awareness. My donation was dedicated to my son, Cole. :)

Congrats Ali! That is soooooo cool that you and Simon were on tv! It was so sweet to see Simon in "real life action" - I've only seen him in pictures. You continue to be an inspiration to us all. Thanks for making my day (as usual when I read your blog)!!!!
