ETP - your check arrived today!

Cameron finished up the workbook and bonus problems today. He got all of the points as expected.

I'm sending a PM to everyone who pledged per-point donations.
You can donate on the website, paypal it to my account, or mail a check to Cameron.

He has $660 pledged with a goal of $750, so he still needs $90.

Anybody else?

Elrod is right, it is for a great cause. I had heard of St Jude before, but I didn't know much about them before this mathathon. I read some of the "patient of the month" archives with Cameron, and there are some sad and wonderful stories there;

Wow - thanks!

Ladies and Gentlemen with the 2nd installment from alphabits, Cameron is over the top and RAISED OVER HALF of the entire school's goal all by himself.

I talked to him an hour or so ago and told him he was $10 short, and he said he'd cover it out of his savings. The kid has a great heart.

Thanks to all of you for your help in showing him what a difference he can make!

He only has a good heart 'cause you and Debbie have instilled it in him. What an accomplishment! He should feel so proud!!!

Imagine the damage that boy could do selling Girl Scout cookies!
