Hi Gang!  We celebrated the Spring Equinox on Tuesday March 21st at 9:06 pm. Our end of the week was awesome.  Nice spring time temperatures where we were able to hike and get out to catch some sun rays, a little vitamin D!  Today it’s snowing, wet & soggy here in Durango.  This year I seem to be less tolerant of the lingering winter weather that may be related to my rehabbing knee.  Enough about all that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The real reason I am writing to you all is that April is NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH!!! <\/em> The Donor Alliance has some info on their website if you are interested in learning more.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.donoralliance.org\/newsroom\/donation-essentials\/shinealight-for-national-donate-life-month-this-april-2023\/ <\/strong>       We celebrate by posting our shine the light poster recognizing Liam & a light in our window & a donor flag in our driveway for the month. Here is a specific link to get your own light kit.       Free #ShineALight kits<\/a> are available today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We have many reasons to CELEBRATE <\/strong>in April.  Of course our primary reason<\/strong> is that <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam’s Heart Day is\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0April 19th!!<\/strong>\u00a0We’ve been prepping for the big bash at the Powerhouse on April\u00a019th.\u00a0 Deadline is\u00a0April\u00a01st to RSVP<\/strong>\u00a0(liamsheartclub2020@gmail.com) if you are going to make the\u00a0trek to\u00a0Durango but\u00a0 you can just wish him well!\u00a0\"\ud83d\ude00\".\u00a0 \u00a0 If you are coming, we’ve got great prizes in the Drawing for COTA…Two Ski Tickets (2024-25 season) to Wolf Creek, Four tickets to a Colorado Rapids Game in Denver, Two tickets to the Durango & Silverton Railroad, just to name a few of the\u00a0big ones!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason is that the\u00a0DONOR DASH 2024\u00a0<\/strong>registration is open!\u00a0 Just in case you’ve forgotten or missed it\u00a0Liam’s\u00a0HeartCLub Team<\/strong>\u00a0was the\u00a0TOP<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Family & Friends Team last year.\u00a0 My family says I am competitive…probably so!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here is the link for that.  You can join in Denver that day or many friends have joined us virtually and dashed wherever they are that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/raceroster.com\/events\/2024\/86180\/25th-annual-donor-dash\/register?team=627853.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Be sure to\u00a0sign up under Liam’s HeartCLub Team!<\/strong> Let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/youtu.be\/LrLJSBHZ7hs<\/strong> this is a video of last year’s fun! If you have a few minutes it’s fun to watch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am working on a Flag raising ceremony (we raise the\u00a0Donor Alliance flag to\u00a0honor, recognize & celebrate donors & recipients)\u00a0with Liam at the local Hospital this month as well.\u00a0 I’ll send pictures!\u00a0 Don’t want to miss a\u00a0thing!\u00a0\u00a0Finley has a birthday\u00a0 this month, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
