June 29th we held our 2nd Annual Blood Drive in Honor of Emily's birthday and had 15 new donors and 17 walk ups that day and a few more! Over 30 pints and over 30 lives saved and donated to our local hospitals. We love our partnership with Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB).
Emily turned SWEET 16 on July 8th!

Summer has been treating Emily well this year as she continues to maintain therapies, doctors and treatments. We are so grateful for the good times for her with this disease. We know it can be different any moment. We are in full swing for our next FUNdraiser happening September 22! Keep a watch out and mark your calendars.
