I am touched! I know there were many many many of us who contributed from all over the world and this letter was written to a very large group of people but honestly, when I read it I felt like Johnny was speaking directly to me. What a gift he has!

Thank you Johnny for your kind words, but we "zoners" are merely a mirror of your generosity to others.

No wonder we all love the man so much - the grace of his heart and his loving kindness glows from his eyes into our hearts. Okay, the letter is so sweet and so generous, it makes me all mushy and my words don't want to come out right. I'm just happy to be here, with so many generous, thoughtful, loving people.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said, but I also want to thank Johnny for taking time to write to all of us here at The Zone. Words fail me in my attempt to express how much I love, respect, & admire Johnny. I have read his letter over about 4 times now, & each time it makes me cry
I also want to add my thanks to Natalie & everyone involved in making it possible for me to participate in this wonderful Birthday Project in honor of such an extraordinary human being!!
I printed a copy of Johnny's letter to save. I will keep it with my copy of his letter from last year that I also saved.

Oh, my, goodness... there are no words. This makes me so proud to be part of the Zone.. Johnny, Thank You for having inspired us all time and time again, in so many ways. You are truly one of a kind...

And thank you and congratulations, Natalie, and the rest of the women who work so hard on the Birthday Project. It's true, Zoners are a special "bunch"! Awesome!

Like everyone else, I filled up reading Johnny's letter.
Thank you PtP and ALL of you who helped arrange the birthday donation and I too am immensely proud to have been a small part in it.
Johnny has been and continues to be such a huge inspiration to me and all of us - many of us have been fortunate enough to tell him how special he is, although knowing Johnny, he will still not appreciate quite what he means to all of us.
Bless you Johnny for coming into our lives and helping to make us better people.

Wow..... he did it again. Unexpected, unnecessary. And there he is. Amazing.
"Truly, your kindness astounds me" ... Look who's talking !
Your kindness astounds me, Johnny ! Thank you, thank you.
And thanks Theresa for suggesting this hospital, and Natalie for organising; what a wonderful way to celebrate Johnny's birthday.
