So much has happened since My Donation.....But I want so much More

I have had a very Amazing Year, but I want so much MORE........Juliana and I have been in the Local Daily facts paper and Sun Newspaper.  We have been in the Albertsons Paper and the Union Local 1167 paper.  Our story has touched Many.  And for that I am grateful.  In my Union paper I really wanted the story to be about Heather a young 16yr old who needs a Kidney.  Her Mother Lielani works at Albertsons in Moreno Valley and I wanted our Members to come forward and get tested and I heard many did but no one so far is a match.  Now in April it is Organ Donation Awareness Month  and Again Juliana , Leo And I will be in the Paper along with a Young Eagle Scot who has done a lot of  research on Donation ... We will be Honor by the San Bernardino Supervisor Neil Derry at the Goverment Center In San Bernardino on April 19th ....... I am looking forward to meeting The young Eagle Scout and Thank Neil Derry for  more Awarness out to the Public. I  hope to do more with Organ donation Awareness myself... My GOALS are to get MORE involved With people who have chosen to donate and help them through the process....Also to get more to Understand the  process and maybe chose to be a Donor.......This week a young girl asked me if I have Shortened My Life being a DONOR.....Wow I was amazed at this question and told her it is just the Opposite ..... I have lengthened my Life by being Healthier .... I am more conscious of what I put in my body........ And my exiting Kidney in two years Becomes a Super Kidney and takes the responsibility of my missing KIDNEY♥ Yayyyyaayy ♥.... I am looking Forward to the Donate Life walk/run at Cal State Fullerton April 30th and I will be in The Downtown Dennis Brown group.......The leader is my Friends Karen Brown and Nicole Brown who loss their Son and Brother Dennis and Donated his Organs and SAVED MANY LIVES........Can't wait to do MORE....I hope I get the opportunity to Volunteer at the Loma Linda Transplant Institute........Love YOU ALL and will keep you informed xoxoxo patty♥♥♥
