* Sounds like tonight's fundraiser was a success! No official numbers yet, but thanks to everyone who came out to Isaac's with a flyer. So glad you all like to eat! Big thanks go out to Sonya for organizing these events.

* Before tonight's fundraiser, we had the news that a substantial donation has come through to the Friends of Alivia Haughery Fund at the Marrow Foundation. We now have $1025 toward our goal of $5000. This will cover this costs to add our goal of 200 new donors to the NMDP Registry. Those who have made or pledged these generous donations are eliminating the financial burden for many in the community who are ready to be living donors - thank you.

* Be sure to keep spreading the word about this Sunday's Marrow Drive from Noon - 4pm at the Cimbrian Offices at 333 North Arch St. in Lancaster. We are very appreciative to Cimbrian for sponsoring this event and allowing us to use their beautiful space. You can map directions from your location to Cimbrian by visiting their website.

* If you can't make it this Sunday, visit a donor center near you or if you live in Pittsburgh, have your tissue typed for free with any blood donation. The drive in Harrisburg has passed, but we will try to alert people to new drives that may be happening in nearby regions.





Although "excited" isn't the right word, I think the family is anticipating this weekend with open hearts. I can't speak for them, but I know Emily feels very blessed by everyone's support. She doesn't want to be known as the family with the sick child and that's why this drive is somewhat of a reality overload.
She & James are such great parents and we all love Livi so much. This weekend will be a success for Livi and all the patients out there and families who love them.
