Hey friends and family, I thought I would put the plea out again now that things are a little more stable. Tim is fighting hard through dialysis, always a stoic warrior but now he's in need of a hero himself. We have been approved at the Penn State Hershey Transplant Program and we are looking for willing donors. Even if you are not O type blood, the possibility of a donor swap is an option too. I have spoken with the team at Hershey and your first screening can be done at your local lab.
If you have questions about the process you can call the number listed below and ask for Amy (she's out of the office until Monday July 12th.) If you are ready to order a screening packet ask for Angie.
717-531-6092 or 800-525-5395

Last request, please share this post far and wide. Please help us get Bigs walking tall again.
