I would also imagine those numbers represent the amount of people now aware and/or are affected by the disease through a relative. It's nice to know quilters can achieve big things in a small way. Congratulations goes to you also for helping with this project.
Awesome is right!!!!!
I think that is wonderful...and wonderful that you have helped to raise some of that money too!
