Putting Your Money Where Your Life Is
Well, the word is out. An anonymous donor has sent a cashier's check for a million dollars to the Mprize. That's serious.
The donor cited what he or she had learned from Fightaging.org and a growing awareness of the power of the Mprize to mobilize the public's attention and support as many small donors joined their resources to grow the prize fund.
I hope that my entry describing how I came to understand the value of the Mprize helps you see why I'm so excited about this latest donation. Thanks for the nice comments! It's been quite a year!
We have no idea who the anonymous donor is, and I think we can all admire his or her desire to keep the focus on defeating aging, not on his or her personal involvement. But I am wondering one thing, and I'm sure you are too:
Does the million dollar donor like eggwhites?

It's amazing that such a huge donation was made to the mprize!
Almost everyday I load up mprize.org looking too see another 300 member join or any significiant donations made... This obviously suprised everyone! Nearly 3 Million now ! :)
I start my three hundred donations in the new year... Luckily I just got accepted for a job recently and I start on the 4th december.
I hope the mprize reaches 3Million by the end of the year, and I hope 2006 is an even better year :) Maybe a goal of reaching 100 "three Hundred" members by the end of 2006.
April, ask MR about that supplement email I sent him a while back... If he doesn't have no time at the moment to reply then no prob!
If any of that didn't make any sense, it's because i've been awake almost 18 hours... TIRED!
I sleep now.

I don't think she likes eggwhites...
Sh hates them in fact... When she was little and wanted clear water blue eyes (she had dark green ones, she felt like her eyes were the color of the deep ends of a dirty lake), her mother told her that she would get those clear blue eyes if she ate the whites of the eggs. Her mother also told her that her light brown hair woul turn corn-blond if she ate the yolk.
She ate the yolk and her hair really did turn corn-blond.
But she never ate the whites, never...
So, her eyes are still a deep shade of green.
