"I was very happy about it as I wasn't really expecting it to reach 10,000. It was actually nerve-racking at times, in a good way."

"At 9,996 supporters I had to go to a meeting, but in my mind I was yelling Yabba Dabba Doo! I was excited to find when I got back to my computer that I had met the 10K goal."
