Morgan playing "Bags" at Lisle Community Day's Donate Life Registration Drive






This is Isa and Michaela with me at Lisle Community Day's Donate Life Registration Drive. Michaela received a liver transplant from her mom, Isa when she was just 8 months old. Aren't they fabulous? This is a prime example of enjoying life after transplant!

Games in Pittsburgh, July 11-16, 2008

Gratitude for the gift

U.S, Transplant Games - Opening Ceremony -

Transplant Games in Pittsburgh

So I competed in my first ever U.S. Transplant games in Pittsburgh , PA. I went to honor the precious gift of life that I received through transplantation just 19 months ago. So, I missed the Bronze Medal by a mere 13 seconds in the 1500 meter racewalk; I beat my personal best time by almost a full minute! I gave my best, and feel like a real winner !
