NJ Sharing Network

At NJ Sharing Network, we have discovered there are so many stories to be told and so much to be shared about organ and tissue donation. This is a place where transplant recipients, donor families, patients waiting for a life-saving transplant, volunteers, NJ Sharing Network staff, community members and advocates can share their insights.

Happiest of Days!

Hi all, Ms. Pumps here!

Today is such a wonderful day for me – good thing you can’t see me as I am typing… I might get a little emotional! This day, February 14th, marks Valentine’s Day, my birthday, and most importantly, National Donor Day, where we celebrate all life-saving donors who have given organs, tissue, marrow, platelets, or blood. I hope you will take some time today to thank the donors who have touched your lives. They are the true meaning of a hero!

Valentine’s day is extra special for me this year, as I get to spend it with my one and only heart – Mr. Pumps. We are busy planning our small and romantic ceremony and as promised I have hired a photographer so I can share the photos with you. Stay tuned!

This year, I’ve asked my friends and family to make contributions to my 5K team in lieu of birthday gifts! BTW…I am part of Team NJ Sharing Network, in case you’d like to join our team… all are welcome! I can’t think of a better birthday gift or way to celebrate National Donor Day! I also think this is a wonderful idea for those of you who are looking for fun and creative ways to raise money for your teams. For more fun ideas on how to get involved in the 5K, make sure you check back often! AND if you haven’t registered yet, what are you waiting for?? Register today at www.NJSharingNetwork.org! While you’re there, check out the Team Captain HQ for fundraising tips and various 5K materials.  See you on the race route on June 8th!

Well everybody, it was great catching up… Time for me to throw on my dancing shoes and celebrate my birthday, Valentine’s Day and National Donor Day!

XOXO Stay Warm,

Ms. Pumps
