Amazing and humbling

I have been truly amazed and humbled by the incredible outpouring of support, both financial and moral, from everyone as we head into the last week before flying to England for my English Channel swim. I don't know whether you all know this or not, but it makes an enormous difference to me to know that you all are supporting me, rooting for me, and wanting to know how I get on (and no doubt hoping that I make it.) It's funny that they refer to these swims as "solo" efforts, because that really couldn't be further from the truth. This is a group effort, and boy, do I have one hell of an awesome group pushing me forward. I am so grateful to have you all in my life and for every last penny you have donated.

I did hear from a couple people this morning, that they were having trouble completing the PayPal transaction, as there seemed to be some techno-glitch in the works. It appears to have been resolved now, so if you had trouble earlier, try it again. If it's still not working, please let me know and we can make alternate arrangements. You can also use PayPal to send money directly outside of the link on this blog by visiting www.paypal.com, signing in, and clicking on the "Send Money" tab. The email address on that account is ezzy_peach@yahoo.com, and you can just designate that as the address to send funds too.

Thank you all again for your amazing vote of support and concern. It really does take a village!
