To have a little fun and raise some funds, my husband started a lung transplant lottery. Perhaps it's a little morbid, but we thought a little pool to guess the date "the twins" arrive would be entertaining. Other girls get to have baby showers and baby pools, but I have my lung transplant. It's in the form of a 50/50 draw, and I'm happy to report that dates are sold out until September. Our friends and family have been happy to play along and support us. This will help to pay for our big ticket items: renting a place in Edmonton and the new medical equipment that I'll need.
I visited my office last week to catch up with all of my co-workers. I had no idea that they had done some fundraising of their own! They had held a lunch fundraiser in February for me. I was shocked when they handed me a thick envelope full of money! I was so touched, and I was totally blown away. It's amazing how thoughtful and kind people are. What a wonderful gift. I am so lucky to work with such a great group of people.
It's an awesome feeling to know that so many people are thinking of me!
