"You Have Reached Your Goal”…?




Hi Everyone,


Yesterday I danced. If you know me, you know I don't dance. So why did I? 


Well, I was in my Intro to Business class when I got an email with a subject line saying, "You have reached your goal!" 


So I calmly excused myself from the room and headed towards the bathroom. I opened the door and checked to see if anyone was in there, and thankfully there wasn't a soul. 


I closed the door behind me and started to pump my fists, jump and do whatever I thought dancing was. Looking back on it today, I feel a bit embarrassed and thank goodness there was no one to see me. 


When I started this journey I wasn't expecting anything. However, seeing the support that has been rallied together in under two months, you have lit a huge fire in me. 


I have already put a fair amount of sweat and tears into all of this. To see results, in this strength, makes me genuinely euphoric. I originally thought reaching $10,000 was impossible, but you helped me cross this threshold in a way that has blown my mind.


As I was falling asleep last night, I kept thinking about where to go from here. So I’m going to put something out there and work my hardest for it. 


Is it possible? Who knows? I truly have no idea what to expect, but I want to try. 


Let’s shoot for $25,000. I promise I’m not crazy. I’m just a man on fire. Dad loved that song. Do you know it? It came out in 2012, right around the time dad was diagnosed with sarcoma. 



Thank you again to everyone who has contributed in support of the SFA. Thank you for putting your trust and confidence in me. 

See you tomorrow!
