Hi community! 

On June 8th, I’m participating in NJ Sharing Network’s 5K Celebration of Life to help raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation.

I did this back in June 2023, three months after my double lung transplant, and in June 2025. I’ll be doing it again with the Columbia Lung Transplant Team and with some of my support group friends and fellow transplantees! 

If you’re in the New York/Connecticut/New Jersey area, I hope you can join me on June 8th for the 5K, or support my fundraising efforts by making a contribution.

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. I appreciate your support so much!
