Irene Adler, I'm calling you out!

[hamster]

Last night, I posted about my FIL's ALS walk on Facebook. irene adler, being the wonderful person that she is, made a donation. While I know the organization is near and dear to her own heart, it made me tear up to see that she was the "anonymous" donor. She has been a amazing support system for me the last two years as we fight this battle, and now this. I wanted to make sure she got a public recognition, because she's so thoughtful and awesome. 

It also makes me feel really good about our little community here. I know we've got drama (well, ML has drama) and I know we're all sad about the MM of yore, but we've always been there to support each other, even though very few of us have ever met. I think we're pretty darn awesome.

She is the best!

And I agree. I  (heart) our community.

Aw, I am all embarrassed and smiling right now. It's such a kind thing for you to say. It's cause is near and dear to my heart. Also, high-five on the team name. Spectacular!

And I second (third? Fourth?) The sentiment of how wonderful and supportive this board is. I love you all.

Would you be against posting it here? I'd like to donate.

I will happily PM anybody the link, but I'm a little nervous to put the link on the board given the personal names, date/location of the walk, etc. And, also, I don't know how to explain who these people donating are to H, because he has no idea this place exists, lol. I can only have so many generous "college friends." But I did tell him I was going to put it on Instagram, so maybe I'll do a brief post here later...

Just know that I do end up getting your address, so if you are worried about me coming and peeping through your window at night.... irene adler

LOL. Remember, you will have Miso to contend with…

Would setting up a go fund me to allow people to stay anonymous but also donate to the cause be an option? Would this be the non obnoxious, legitimate use for go fund me.

Edited for clarity. I have to stop trusting voice texting
