Story

On January 15, 2002, I received a stem cell transplant while undergoing treatment to battle Leukemia. Those stem cells came from an umbilical cord, and as a result, I received a brand new immune system. So today, we celebrate the 21st Birthday of my immune system!

To celebrate this occasion, I am raising money for the Ronald McDonald Houses in Denver. More than one Ronald McDonald house has played a role in providing a safe haven for me, or members of my family, and I am excited to set up this fundraiser to support the Ronald McDonald house in the area where I live.

Patients and families from all over the country find themselves in the Ronald McDonald Houses of Denver. I've been able to tour their facilities to see the amazing things they provide to those that live there while they focus on their family.

Please join me not only in celebrating my 21st Birthday but also in supporting an organization that does so much for so many.
