Wow! Our fundraising effort for Gift of Life, the bone marrow donation registry in Florida has just found another match for a 35 year old man from one of the swab kits they were able to open and test because of your donations. Thank you so much. From this end, I can surely say that knowing there is a life-saving match for you so that you can have a transplant is so exciting, so critical, and magical. I wish this newly matched pair the very best of luck! Check out the site to see how it works and how much we've raised!

In addition, my close friends in London are running a half-marathon in October for the Anthony Nolan Center in England. They are a large bone marrow registry and research facility in the UK. They are the ones that found me my matches. Elsie and her husband Mark are running in this half-marathon in my honor which makes every bit of their hard work even sweeter and so meaningful to me. If you can, please pull up their webpage and hopefully support them and donate for them to have a great run and for the Anthony Nolan to keep up its good work. Donating to these types of organizations is such a great charity choice. You can TRUELY save someone's LIFE!! Good Luck Elsie and Mark. And thank you!
