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.

Only 12 Weeks Away!

OMG!  I can’t believe we’re less than 12 weeks away from the biggest, most exciting event of the year!!  (No, it is not the return of Lord  & Taylor’s Shoe Event, although like every respectable fashionista, I do love a nice pair of pumps :-) ) Our 5K Walk and USATF Certified Race is rapidly approaching and I am well on my way to being on tip-top shape!  I’ve been training hard, eating right and spreading the word to all my friends and family.  I’ve been doing such a great job that we have close to 120 teams already registered for the 5K!!  I actually had the pleasure of meeting some of our amazing team captains at our Team Captains Kickoff event, which was held at Forest Lodge on March 16th.  Over 100 people joined me to hear some of the top team captains from prior years share their fundraising and team building tips.  We rallied, we shared stories and most importantly, we honored those who gave, paid tribute to those who received, offered hope to those who continue to wait and remembered the lives lost while waiting for the gift of life.  It was an unforgettable day and it was just a preview of what’s to come on June 9th!

Ooops...did I just photo bomb our Team Captain Kickoff guests?  LOL

Heart-healthy tip of the day: Spring is here and with it comes…spring cleaning! As much as you may hate cleaning, think of housework as an extra chance to exercise. Vacuuming briskly can be a real workout!
