Danny,
You are a champ. 
Tom and I will join in the effort  
 This site was a true life line during the hardest year we've spent - alone or together.   The optimistic posts coupled with the 'grass roots' experiences that were shared so generously pulled both of us through.  The many prayers were felt; we continue to offer those for everyone here - and those who haven't yet found this special site.
I have been away from the board for awhile. Computer problems contributed to the absence, but I think I've tried to forget about what happened and focus on full recovery.  When Tom began asking, "how is ------ doing?", I realized that I've neglected the board.  
We are with you all in spirit, and we'll send dollars, too.  I think I might just return to selling pies and quiches to raise some money, as well  

   Fun way to make a buck!
All the best
Nicki
PS....send me your blackjack tips.  We may be headed for Vegas next month.  Business, of course.
