I had been checking my aids Marathon donation page like million times, it was taking forever to get the system updated with the donations. I was beginning to get very eager, as all I was seeing was a big ol "$00.0" as my fundraising amount. I was hoping to see at least $125, that's what I knew was guaranteed, no wait actually $150.
Much to my surprise there was $475, Saswata's business pals were very kind and supportive. That's nice when people in high places, can take the time and the effort to help people - I like that in a person. So I sent them some thank you emails - Saswata thought the email was very elegant...
Here is a excerpt an email that I received :
Hello Ekta,
I admire your dedication and personal sacrifice to such a worthy cause. Your efforts, and those like you, make this - a better world.
Best of luck in your training.
Regards.
Aren't these the nicest words anyone could write :) Like I told this gentleman, when my mind is not keeping up with my body, I am going to be thinking of his email.
I also have to pick up $40 for the manager at the local Starbucks store, and this other guy wants me to come pick up $20 from his store. But hello, I am going to have to pay $20 gas to get there...Maybe I should ask him to do it online.....So things are looking up....its all going to get better....maybe fundraising is not all that bad....fingers crossed!!!
