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. To learn more about organ and tissue donation in New Jersey, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org.

18 Days Away from the Share NJ 5K!

With 18 days to the big day, we have raised over $315,000. I believe we can do better!!! Let’s exceed our fundraising goal of $625,000. The money we raise allows NJ Sharing Network Foundation to support and promote the gift of life through organ and tissue donation. Together, we are making a difference!

Shout out to our top five fundraisers!
1. Cindy Boyea
2. Phyllis Caputo
3. Alyssa D’Addio
4. Randi Geffner
5. Max Prince

Everyone is doing a great job! Let’s all make a promise to step it up these next 18 days! We can do it!

I wanted to share a Facebook post from Alyson Angstreich of Pop-Pop’s team! She posted on NJ Sharing Network Facebook wall:
“Pop-pop’s team walks and runs in memory of Stephen Coopersmith (Pop-pop) who waited on the heart transplant list and received a heart from a hero in August 2010. We also walk/ run to honor a member of our team, Dr. Ed Gold, who donated his kidney to his wonderful, healthy daughter Marissa. But most importantly, we walk/ run to raise awareness for the need for organ donors in hopes that we will see a day when no person will have to go through the pain of waiting for agonizing amounts of time on a transplant list.”
Thank you Pop-Pop’s team for sharing this wonderful message of why you are running and walking. I encourage everyone to post on NJ Sharing Network facebook and @NJSharing twitter and share why your team runs and/or walks. Your stories are powerful and continue to inspire me everyday! Your stories are the reason I run, the reason I fundraise, and the reason I am passionate about this mission! THANK YOU!

If you have not signed up for the Share NJ 5K Walk/Run, please visit www.ShareNJ5K.org today!

XOXO Ms. Pumps!
