Thank You!
Now, we're at the end of the competition and we have Dexter sitting firmly in first place. Dexter's dream raced up the leader board and, once he reached Number One, he never lost the winning position.
There's no way we could have achieved this amazing result without the help of every single one of you! We cannot thank you enough, but have come to realise that the smile on Dexter's face is all the thanks most of you want.
We will never fully know how many people have talked about Dexter's story and our dream in the last two weeks. We will never know just how many people have supported us in our dream. We are so happy and proud... overwhelmed and honoured! We've always known Dexter was someone very special - and now, you've all confirmed this for us.
Please, if you shared the Dreams link or posted messages, sent emails or tweets...if you made up signs and delivered them to customers, talked to people at work or strangers in the street... know that we thank you will all our hearts!
Dexter will benefit so much from your love, generosity and your support over these last two weeks.
At some early stages of this competition, we thought that, at the very least, we had raised awareness of cerebral palsy and kids like Dexter. We'd told people about his daily struggles and the expensive therapy and equipment he needs, while introducing them to a very loving and patient, determined and cheeky little boy.
We have one last request.... Could you please start thanking everyone. Let everyone who voted and shared our dream know that we are very grateful and extremely happy. And, we now know how loved Dexter is.
Its an incredible experience, to feel such incredible love for your child... from family, friends and people we may never even meet.
And, if you happen to notice Dexter around town, feel free to come and say hello. You might have to tell us you who you are, but we'd love for you to meet our boy.
