Fundraising Even When Looking Healthy

On May 1, 2024, I celebrate three years of a new life with my donor lungs. I can’t begin to describe the many milestones that I’ve experienced since this life giving transplant, never imagining what was possible. I was a part of my youngest daughter, Sierra’s, wedding; I flew to Idaho to witness my eldest daughter, Meaghan’s, life changing transition; Steve and I attended Dodgers spring training in Arizona; I am able to ride my e-bike into Sequoia National Park; I hike the hillsides filled with blooming wildflowers in the foothills; Steve and I now play pickleball; I’ve hiked a portion of Moro Rock (I plan on the entire 350 steps hike this season); I’ve received my first ever passport as an adult with plans of a 2025 spring adventure to Italy.

As I celebrated my 4th Lungaversary (May 1, 2025), I’ve been reflecting more on the “before” and how dramatically transplant has changed my life and the gratitude I have for the young man whose lungs I protect with all that I can. I think of him, and hope his family will know what a gift I’ve received, because of his desire to be an organ donor. I haven’t been able to connect with them-perhaps out of fear of their pain at losing their child. Unimaginable. To honor him, I will keep pushing myself to get stronger, share the importance of organ donation, as well as believing in a God that is bigger than we could realize. I am walking proof of God’s miracles. Continue to live life with gratitude, mindfulness and lots of love. #4thlungaversary. #savedbymydonor #organdonationawareness #PostTransplantLife #SecondChanceAtLife #ibelieveinmiracles #DonateLife #Hope #Help Hope Live
