Hair Today...Gone Tomorrow!

Kelly and Vicky at our Annual Teddy Bear Clinic



My friend Kelly on the left has decided to come up with her own fundraiser for me...

It is one that I honestly tried to talk her out of...

BUT she has decided since she can't give me a kidney because of medical reasons...

She will give me her hair!!

That is right. If she raises at least $2000 from our co-workers, she will shave her hair off!

Actually she will cut it first and donate her hair to Locks of Love and then shave the rest of it off for me.

What a giving, caring, selfless friend I have. I am proud to be her friend!

I am in tears of thankfulness...

I was going to wait to blog about this, but it can't wait. SAIC in Tennessee (where my sister Crystal works) is doing a silent bake auction for me today in their lobby of their building. First of all....35 people signed up for this to donate and/or volunteer their time to bake for this.



This fundraiser will go to medical expenses not covered by my insurances. Originally, I was more scared about the financials of my transplant vs. actually having a transplant. My family and friends have told me not to worry about the financials.....we will find a way.

I plan on doing a large post on this with more pictures. I have that lump in my throat you get when you see someone doing good for someone else. My eyes are fighting back the tears.

Thank you SAIC.
