Oh yes !
It looks hopeful for a very nice total amount. If Johnny can hit
45... I guess we can !

Great way to think AnaMaria...I would love to match his birthday number!! Although we may have to ask him to stop growing !!
I wonder if he knows this is going on??? Maybe someone saw it on the thread and mentioned it to him?? I am sure he is totally humbled and extremely grateful, that during this difficult time financially for all of us, he will be bowled over, whatever amount is raised. Johnny doesn't forget what its like to have to scrape by on little...he probably shakes his head...and says...how do they do it ???
Because you Johnny are a great inspiration to others....

We have currently raised more than $4,200 . . . a wonderful gift in a time when so many Zoners are facing big financial challenges (like filling the gas tank and buying food
). Your generosity is truly inspirational.
When strapped with such things as filling my gas tank and buying food -- or worse -- I always remember what my Mom used to say when I was a kid: "No matter how bad off we are"
(and we were) "there is always someone else somewhere who is worse off than us."
No matter how small the donation, she always donated. At least it was something.
Just a thought for those sitting on the fence . . .

Would like to add my thanks to those that made this project possible. As a child, I spent far too long in hospitals and infact was in one consulting with a surgeon for more of just this morning!? In the seventies (when I was a long term patient) we had an occassional play therapist and our school teachers still came up to help us keep up with work but there really wasn't anything in the way of offering relief for parents or anything that made young patients feel like kids. What this gift will make possible is priceless and is so keeping with who Johnny is. Thanks to all from one who's been there done that.

Well, Johnny has been on my mind so a few more dollars were just added to the Birthday Project by me.
Thanks for putting this altogether. This is quite an outstanding amount to raise and wonderful to see everyone pull together for such a worthwhile cause in honour of a wonderful guy!

Wishes do come true - Captain Jack is back!
