She came to one of our dinner meeting as our guess and she read us a thank you letter and ended it by saying just over a month ago I could not have talked to any of you or read this thank you letter. She had 20 guys crying and a few of the other dinner tables around us in tears. That was the moment I realized how much of a difference just a few people can make in peoples lives just having fun raising some money.
