A wonderful gift

Here is a wonderful, unexpected thing that happened last month. It's a great feeling when others recognize that we are working hard and on the right path. Word came via email from Marilyn Hamilton:

Hi Guys....

Hope all is well in your lives. Again thank-you for a most wonderful research symposium. Bob and I not only enjoyed connecting with you ALL but also really learned a great deal from your family of dedicated researchers. Know we are cheering you on!

I'm checking in today to secure information so I can direct a $10K donation to the Foundation. In 2006 Maria Shriver, as First Lady of California, honored me with a Minerva Award as an Architect of Change. Over the past 8 years Maria has presented 31 Minerva Awards during her annual California Governor and First Lady's Conference on Women. Good NEWS. Today I received word from Maria that she is granting each Minerva's a $10K grant to further support my work.

As a gesture of appreciation and support I would like to direct this donation to the Reeve Foundation to use as you wish.

Marilyn has been a friend of the Foundation for years. She is a business consultant and motivational speaker. I got to meet her and her husband Bob this year at the symposium in Arizona. They are wonderful, caring people. And this is not the first time we have benefited from their generosity.

    Michael Collins: Marilyn Hamilton is a great example of the qualities of the pioneers who made the quality of life we enjoy today possible. The example she sets is one we should all strive to achieve, and she deserves more 'Minervas' and whatever other recognition that might be available in the future. Kudos to Marilyn!
