Thrilled that you joined the giving challenge. Funny, now I see so many opportunities to give to - in order to bring about change.

PVE-Thank you. So glad you let me know about it. It really opens ones eyes to the giving we already do and to potential chances to give.

What a wonderful idea. I am doing sort of a big thing this summer. I am having a medical student stay with me for four weeks while she's attending Johns Hopkins. I have the room and this will be a huge help to her, so when a friend asked me to do it, I thought why not. So 21 big ones, not 29 little ones. Does this count?
