Well, I've been neglecting to give thanks to all the people whose help was either critical in making this happen, or central to turning donated money into real results:
Jonny Prouty, who contacted me with ideas about getting donation through Facebook set up, and lit the fire under my butt to talk to the necessary people to make it happen
Peri Frantz, who expressed her strong support for this and arranged for the money to be allocated to the WNS Rapid Response Fund
David in Causes Support, who provided me with the information I needed to know I should get in touch with Peri and give her the information
she needed, and more generally the entire Causes Team of volunteers who donate their time and skills to making the Facebook Causes application exist and work (they're not getting paid by Facebook to do this!)
Peter Youngbaer, not just for his enormous volume of past and continued work as the NSS's WNS Liaison, but specifically for helping me start up the Facebook Cause for WNS, and co-administering the Cause
all the scientists who are working to figure out WNS and trying to find a way we can do something about it
and all of you, for contributing to the effort by donations, volunteering, and teaching and raising awareness about WNS.
Thank you all, and once again...
please donate!(Go
