We got the most exciting news from Gift of Life today by email:
“Dear Gift of Life Volunteer,
On Jun 14, 2014 you helped facilitate a donor drive in Hamilton at NJ YMCA Staff Training Day Drive. We are thrilled to inform you that a donor recruited at that drive has been identified as a match for a 65 year old woman battling Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.”
Jeff remembers giving a rousing short speech to the crowd and then walking around with Rosie in his arms, telling his story to the young camp counselors and encouraging them to swab their cheeks. Theresa helped us that day along with Donor Frank and Gift of Life Staffer, Nick. More about that day:

Jeff is proud that we had a success only one year after our very first drive and I'm shedding a few tears whenever I think about the families who are preparing for donation and transplant. We're thinking, of course, about Nicole, too. We're feeling blessed to be a part of the Gift of Life process.
