Miss Fishie makes the news!
HI, all!
I am very excited to report that I was interviewed by channel four (NBC News) from Columbus last night. The story was featured on the late news and on several versions of the news today! I am excited about bringing awareness of the Transplant Games and organ donation to the media. Providing the truth and expelling the myths of organ and tissue donation is one of the golas I strive for on a daily basis. Below is the link to the story...yes, I am my usual goofy "Dory Fish" self! Enjoy and please share with others who need a testimony of life after transplant!

P.S.Why are we not on eachother's friends list? P.P.S. Did you bring back anything in addition to great memories of a fantastic and amazing trip to Australia? If you didn't I will try to squeeze out one big "Crocodile Tear" thinking how you must have felt being down in Paradise a little disapointed while I had to suffer, cuts, swelling, bruising and pain. It might not be a big Crocodile tear that rolls down my cheek and falls to the Ground!!!
Thanks also everyone for just having a site were transplant patients can talk and share thier expierence, strengh and hope.
God Bless Kim
I do like this site. I found lots of old friends and some new ones.
How are you doing?
It is a cool site, I have already run into a number of people that I know and met a few new ones. Thanks for the tip!!!
Carole, let people know that tickets to Australia are lower than they have been in years and the more the ecconomey goes down (closer to Games time) I expect them to be even lower.
