Hey, there!

On Sunday, June 8, I’ll be participating in my second year of the NJ Sharing Network 5k alongside my boyfriend James Finnegan and his family & friends to honor his mom, Linda, who donated both her lungs, both kidneys, her liver, and her other organs through NJ Sharing Network when she passed away in 2016. In my ~2 years with the Finnegan family, I’m grateful to have shared in so many of the joyful traditions left by Mrs. Finnegan’s legacy: holiday cookie making, the Spring Lake 5 mile run, special birthday desserts, beach days, and her general love for fitness (aka “getting pink and sweaty”)!

If you are interested in making a donation to the NJ Sharing Network through my fundraising page as a member of the Linda’s Lovees team, you can find the link below. Alternatively, I’d love if you’d offer a prayer or thought of gratitude for Linda’s gift of life and the generosity of all organ donors, including my own mom who donated one of her kidneys back in 2008!

Funds raised through the Sharing Network Foundation support families that have been touched by donation and transplantation as well as research and education to help give the gift of life to those in need of life-saving organ and tissue transplants.

Thank you for your support and for 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.
