Our blood drive was a HUGE success!  To be honest I was having bad dreams that no one would show up, but we ended up having close to 80 people come which was incredible.  We collected 58 units of blood which will help save up to 116 patients!  We also had 39 people sign up for the national bone marrow registry.  So amazing!  I am completely overwhelmed with gratitude at the love and support that we were shown.  It was one of those days where I thought to myself "Life is GOOD, we are BLESSED!" 

I want to thank each and everyone of you that took the time out of your busy day to come celebrate Skyler's life with us by helping save other's.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful support from so many people.  There were even people who came who were afraid of needles and this was their first time donating, even people I didnt even know.  That seriously means so much to me.  I am sitting here with such a full heart and just cant find the right words to express how grateful I am for everyone.  Thank you just doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU!!

                              Here is a glimpse of our day!

These are the wonderful people from Be The Match

 
This cute girl is the one that took the amazing pictures I always use of Skyler when he was bald!

 
This is Nathanael one of Skyler's cancer buddies.  I love this kid so much and he turned six the day before our drive. Birthdays are a big deal in the cancer world.  Happy Birthday Bud!

 
Yup that's me lounging out.  I decided I wanted to see how comfy those chairs are, turns out VERY :)

 
Me, Skyler and my mom sported these shirts.  On the front it said Here's to many more Birthdays...

                      Another strong cancer fighter, McKall!

This is also a fellow cancer family.  I admire this family so much.

Also another cancer buddie!  He has been off treatment for a year.  Way to kick cancer's butt Parker!

We had a bounce house for all the kiddos while their parents were busy giving blood and swabbing cheeks.  Skyler loved having friends to bounce around with.

Signing up for the registry!

                             Thumbs up for saving lives!!

                                A smile on her face while getting poked!

Here is my cute momma.  She helped me put this whole thing together.  I don't know what I would do without her.

                                 The life saving process....

      THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE THIS A SUCCESS!
