Friend, 

Oh my gosh - thank you so much for all the warm birthday wishes! What a wonderful surprise to wake up to and start my 59th year. 

Today is not only my birthday but it is also the end of the third quarter which an important fundraising deadline. We have just over $10,000 left to go to finish out our budget and I could use your help to get there.

If you're able to give before midnight tonight please, I would so appreciate your support.

Thank you for making this such a special day.

With gratitude, 

Duncan
