Ok team...

I'm on pins and needles for you still. Not much time left on the clock.

Go team go!!!! Congrats, Ali it's so exciting. I've check several times today and have watched since the beginning. Love the idea that someone wrote about where everyone is from.
So to kick it off...I'm from the East Coast in Mechanicsville, Maryland.

Go team go!!! Amazing!

This is so exciting! I cannot believe how infectuous this is. Not only are more people donating, but I can't believe how many people are donating to this giveaway. This is such an inspiration. Thank you Ali.

Ali - I'm guilty of reloading your site endlessly too! Did you ever dream when you set out on this journey with six degrees that would you would really be doing is giving each of US a gift? You've shown each of us just how good it feels to do something good, to be connected to others like us all over the world who want to make a difference in some small way. As the posts above show (and I'm sure those below us will too) this is an amazing moment for all of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks to a reminder email I just received from a friend, I just made a donation! I've just emailed a few others also! This really is amazing! :)

I am from Australia and should be doing my housework (hubby and son have taken dog for a walk)! But am addicted to seeing to the tally keep rising. I can not believe how many people are donating! It has been amazing! I am crying tears of joy at how generous people are. Way to go to everyone! Congrats Ali, Simon and Chris!

Ali, you totally ROCK! :)

I donated way back when there was only about 200 donaters and added the badge to my blog back then. I am so thrilled to see your charity winning 1st place. What time does the contest close? I am praying you stay ahead until that time.

I just did another small donation now that I see it can come from my paypal stash ;)

I'VE BEEN GLUED TO THIS MACHINE FOR DAYS!! I may need to get an eye exam after this!
This is sooooo exciting, Ali! I feel like I'm about to win the lottery!
I guess in a way, we all are!
We WILL find a cure!
Thank-you for the chance to win all the wonderful goodies!

Hi Ali!
I am in South Korea and have been following your fundraising efforts. Saw the paypal option just in time. So glad to be able to contribute and I think you are fantastic to be raising all this money and awareness for autism.
