Angels of Life Fundraiser for Georgia Transplant Foundation

Last night I went to the Cobb Energy Center for a fundraiser for the Georgia Transplant Foundation.  Lisa, Cindi, and Sue all joined me, and we got to see some really good ideas for my fundraiser.  We got to see Dr. Vega, my surgeon, Dr. Andy Smith, one of my cardiologist, and visited with many of Pamela's friends.  It was nice to get all dressed up, go out with my girlfriends and donate to a great cause.  (Although my feet hurt from standing in heels most of the night!!)

The most beautiful thing a person can give is life.  If you are not an organ donor, please consider signing up today.  Please visit  www.donatelifegeorgia.org to become to a donor.

Fundraising

Last Friday night I had the opportunity to have some of my dearest friends over to discuss some fundraising ideas.  John and Cindi came from Grayson GA, Kerrin and Beth came from Roswell, and my bestest girls from my neighborhood, Amy and Lisa walked over.  We were honored to have Pamela Locke here to give us some information on NFT (National Foundation for Transplants).  Pamela has had 2 kidney transplants and is such an inspiration and a miracle. We are hopefully going to do a fundraiser the end of September, we just have to nail down a place and the exact date.

I talked to NFT today and they are sending me some paper work to fill out, and I will have the great pleasure to become a patient with them.  I have contacted a financial coordinator from Emory and I'm waiting to hear back from someone.  I'm looking forward to getting together with everyone again to go over everything we are supposed to do.

Will keep you posted on a date and location!!
