25th Bone Marrow Transplant Reunion



The ceremony was outside, we all got a sack lunch, turkey/cheese hoagie roll, apple, salad and a choco-chip cookie, all the water, lemonade or tea that we wanted

this is a part of the picture of all the bone marrow survivors, there was probably 150, from 10 yrs-25 yrs.

this is all the 20 years and over bone marrow survivors, the man second from the right is the very first recipient for a bone marrow transplant 25 years ago

alot of sweet people, this man had a transplant 2+ years ago

This is one of Lana's nurses she had 22 years ago


I thought Relay for Life was alittle emotional, but nothing compared to this, WOW...the testimonies of different ones who found God, or who strayed away and was brought back with their illness...words can't express the day. It also was a celebration of life, for one of the doctors who started the bone marrow transplant 25 years ago, he passed away in January, so alot of people told of experiences they had with that doctor, it was a very memorable day, and it was a real treat to be able to go with Tony and Lana and be a part of her reunion...WOW !!!
