LifeBanc – Gift of Life Walk & Run

Posted on by

Hey Everyone! This year Zoe and I will be participating in the Gift of Life Walk & Run (we will be walking 😉 ) for LifeBanc. LifeBanc is a nonprofit organization from Northeast Ohio that works to heal and save lives through organ and tissue donation.

We’ve started a team for the event: Team Zoe’s Heart (naturally)! Here is the link to the team’s web page: http://lifebanc.donorpages.com/2010GiftofLifeWalkRun/ChristinaSnider

On that site, you can register to walk with us on the day of the event or make a donation to help the team make it’s goal!  The event will take place on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at Blossom Music Center from 7:30 a.m – 11:30 a.m.

If you can’t join the team, please consider making a donation. As you all know this is a very worthy cause and an issue that is close to our hearts.

Zoe’s Heart began the day our world changed. My daughter, Zoe, received a heart transplant at just six years old. Six. In the span of childhood milestones and bedtime stories, we learned words like “transplant,” “rejection,” “ICU,” and “donor family.” We learned what it means to wait. To hope. To live in the in-between. This blog is our way of sharing the journey — the beautiful, the terrifying, the exhausting, and the miraculous. Zoe’s Heart exists for two reasons: To keep our family and friends updated as we walk this road. And to advocate fiercely for organ donation — because someone else’s yes saved my daughter’s life. This space is raw. It’s honest. It doesn’t pretend the hard parts don’t exist. But it also refuses to ignore the hope. We believe in celebrating progress, honoring the gift of life, and speaking openly about what transplant families experience behind hospital doors. Zoe is living proof that generosity changes everything. Thank you for being here. Thank you for following her journey. And if you ever find yourself wondering whether organ donation matters — it does. It saved our girl. Welcome to Zoe’s Heart.
