Help Colleen Ride in Ohio!!!
Spende geschützt
Hi everyone,
I am trying to help the AMAZING Colleen O'Donnell raise funds so she can achieve one of her dreams and goals to raise awareness about organ donation. Colleen wants to complete an organized bicycle ride in Ohio to help spread the awareness and importance of signing up to become an organ donor.
This subject is very near and dear to her heart because on May 7, 2017, she was the recipient of a kidney and pancreas from a donor. Colleen was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a child and has had many medical challenges throughout her life due to complications that started to impact her kidneys, pancreas and overall quality of life, significantly. Colleen had to endure dialysis (a lot of dialysis) and a lot of struggles prior to receiving the organs from her donor......he was a 26 year old male (she hasn't been notified regarding who her donor was yet) and we're forever grateful for his priceless gift. It's now Colleen's mission to spread awareness and try to get as many people possible on board to sign up to become organ donors.
Colleen's quality of life has increased incredibly since receiving the kidney from the extremely generous gift of her donor. Colleen no longer suffers from diabetes and she has been doing very well. She has had a few illnesses here and there, but she's Wonderwoman and comes back fighting, every time.
I was hoping that we all could chip in.......any amount helps so very much and we're so very appreciative. The amount collected will fund Colleen's trip including a safe bicycle, helmet, necessary accessories for the bike, food, gas and lodging.
Thank you so much for your help and you can follow Colleen on her adventure through Facebook.......she will post videos, photos, etc.
