HI Holly, I am involved in a documentary film project featuring organ donation in Japan. I'm half Japanese... are you ? From your last name I thought you may be japanese... would you or your mom be interested in being interviewed? Please let me know- Thank you! I'm a double lung recipient; I grew up in SoCal too. I love your rose parade photos- we did that in 2008. Amazing huh???
Take care, please email me: anana1872@yahoo.com

I would love to come to the Tx games. I have no clue what I would do, since I have no athletic ability at all, but the last time I went, I just sat on the sidelines and watched and chatted with new friends. It was awesome!! You look so healthy and fit in all of the pictures. I'm assuming you are going to participate in the games again?

Things are good. It warmed up to about 30, then we got a foot of snow dumped on us. Not fun to drive in. But pretty none the less. Work is definately keeping me busy. I'm going to get back to the gym next week I think. Gotta get ready for Madison.

Hey there. I hope everything is going well and you're staying warm in Southern Cal. Today it was -9 degrees with the wind chill. Brrrrrr. Other than the weather, things are good. Talk to you soon.

Holly: I saw you briefly in Pittsburgh at the closing ceremonies. But did not get a chance to see you during the games. I trust you did well. I got a silver in table tennis. I saw your article in Women's Health, great photo. You are a real poster girl for organ donation, I am sure there are many women that would like to look like you. I trust you watched the beach and indoor volleyball during the Olympics, USA was great, I really enjoyed watching it. Hope to see you in Queensland next year. The USA Games are so big, in Madison we should organize a Transplant Cafe members party.

Hi Holly,
WOW, awesome job in Pitt. that's great! I really wanted to go but it just wasn't meant to be this summer. I got married this summer and needless between that and Canadians I just wasn't able to make it work. Canadians went really well, it was a good party as always! I'm glad to hear you are doing well as well., stay in touch! Are you planing on going to Australia ? I am in a wedding during the games so am unable to make it but I'm sure they'll be great!

Double Anniversary

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that this month is a double anniversary for me. On the 13th I will be 25 years out from my second kidney transplant. December, 25th will mark 30 years post first kidney transplant. It doesn't seem that its been that long ago,
I will forever think about the families that made the faithful decision that saved my life and the lives of other complete strangers. I do celebrate on the anniversaries but, I also mourn because of the loss that was e…
