I participated in Movember this past year like always but given the state of my prostate, and the fact it hates me, Movember took on a whole new meaning. Anyway when the survey about Movember came out I wanted to voice my opinion regarding the gifts or milestone prizes for raising funds, but the survey didn’t have that option.
So being the prolific letter writer that I am (everyone is entitled to my opinion) I sent them a note saying how much I appreciated everything but that I felt the gap between prizes was too big. One was at $25 I believe you got the razor and the next was at $1000. I raised $711 and felt a little…jaded.
Well, not only did I get a reply within a few days. But this arrived in the mail the other day. I honestly started to tear up.
The card reads,
