I learned much from the research around each challenge area. I especially appreciate the creative that went into the site – very engaging for the reader to want to learn more/read more. The functionality of the site, allowing you to piggy-back from one challenge to another kept me reading/learning. I did make the donations I listed, but unfortunately forgot to record them here – and was mindful of the daily challenges I enlisted, but again, didn't record them daily (sorry, we lost points for this, Em). Wonderful experience – thank you. Keep me on the list for the next challenge!
