I hope you give yourself a lot of grace my man. Starting a non profit as just your every day person with a passion, hard. Keeping the thing running and making a difference as you intended, harder. The thing still going after the founder leaves, hardest. You are in a rare category of non-profit starters and that is a huge win in the most important of ways. People are alive because you had courage and gave up safety. You didn’t monetize your idea either. You just followed your passion. Complexity is what makes us relatable. And who knows how long we get on this planet but I wish to make 1/6 of the difference you have made. Thanks for picking back up the keyboard and for being vulnerable when it is isn’t easy. Keep going man, chapter 3 whatever it is, already a success. Know that.

Wow... thank you Jamie. Baldness is under everybodies’ hair... mine fell out in clumps during my own dark night of the soul 25 years ago and I was hugely self conscious about that and the scar tissue it left on my scalp at 25... emo hairstyles and ironed fringes prevailed in the 00’s this side of the pond too... hitting a bit of a post-covid wall a year ago saw my alopecia flare up again after years of being dormant. I don’t mind the greys so much now and my head may well be buzzed by the the time that the year’s out. Scars tell stories and so do stars. B x
