Thankful and Grateful for YOU

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, friends. As we enjoy some time off and relax with friends and family, it's a good time for reflection. 

This has been a transformational year for me and my family in so many ways. My book published June 22 and has been a tremendous success. I left ProPublica June 30 after a blessed decade of investigative reporting there, and after two decades in journalism. I started my job with the OIG in July and am excited about how the job will help me bring about improvement in our health care system. My family moved from New Jersey to Dallas in October. Phew - what a year!

I also ran two successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns to pay for the editing, graphics and other production costs for my health literacy video curriculum - The Never Pay Pathway -  which is based on the how-to tactics in my book. Many of you were contributors to the campaigns, which brought in an eye-popping total of $55,030!!! Whoa!

THANK YOU!!!

Now I'm working on fulfilling the various perks and gifts that are coming to those who backed the crowdfunding campaign. Books have been delivered and are going to be shipped soon. Awesome Allen Health Academy mugs, stickers and T-shirts are designed, ordered and on the way. Fun stuff! 

Today I'm stepping back and appreciating how far we have come together. As I enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend and look forward to Christmas, I must say how grateful I am for the support that so many of you have provided. It's much appreciated and not lost on me. 

And now I'm anticipating 2022, when we will launch The Never Pay Pathway video curriculum. 

And since it's Black Friday, if you're looking for a great gift for your friends and loved ones, please don't forget my book! It's helping people save many hundreds and thousands of dollars on each health care interaction. You could help EDUCATE and EMPOWER the people you care about with the book!
