Dear Family & Friends
I’m participating in NJ Sharing Network’s 5K Celebration of Life to help raise awareness about organ and tissue donation. As many of you know, the Gift of Life has changed my life twice and given me a combined 26 ½ years of life. My first kidney transplant (from my mom) lasted 18 years and my second one is going strong for 8 ½ years. I am GRATEFUL and HEALTHY.
Last year, I had the honor of riding the Donate Life Rose Bowl Parade Float. As part of that experience, I met Janet and Morgan Palumbo, a donor family. I felt an instant kinship to them and we mutually adopted each other as recipient and donor family. This year, I will be walking on Team Hailey. Janet is Hailey’s mom and Morgan is her older sister. Hailey was a good-natured and beautiful teenager whose life was cut too short in 2017 due to a horrific car accident. Hailey had the rare, but most amazing opportunity to become an Organ and Tissue Donor, and was able to save 5 lives. Lives similar to mine…
Thank you for your support in joining me to honor those who gave, pay tribute to those who received, offer hope to those who continue to wait, and remember the lives lost while waiting for the gift of life.
Gratefully,
Leena
