OK peeps, the Blogathon went on very smoothly on my side, which means that my computer didn’t break down half-way, my internet connection was also good and I was surprised since it was always acting up whenever I least expect it to.. And there were actually people who dropped by to cheer and support and sponsor me, and to them, I say THANK YOU :)

So this will serve as a summary/recap of all the posts that I had written during the 24-Blogathon-hours, and they are all related to Eden Handicap Service Centre and disabilities. I would appreciate it if you would take some time to read them so that my efforts to spread awareness on disabilities do not go down the drains, OK? :D

And, a very big THANK YOU to all my 34 sponsors who have collectively pledged USD 800 to Eden Handicap Service Centre. I am awed by your generosity, and I am really proud of you :) Thank you also to those of you who left me encouraging messages in my chat box to see how I was doing, you guys did a GREAT job keeping me awake!

The sponsorships are STILL OPEN until 48 hours after the Blogathon. So you may still SPONSOR ME if you wish! Pleasee..? The total amount pledged is at a high of USD 800, but I’d really like to see it touch USD 1K…
