Looking up on my last few posts, it appears I only ever post on my rebirthday these days. Oops!
But today is FIVE YEARS to the day from when I received my stem cells from my unrelated donor in America! I cannot say enough to thank him for giving me the life I have today - without him it's extremely unlikely I'd have seen 2010, let alone 2014. With his blood I've ran three marathons, including a Boston Qualifying time at London this spring, too (3:30:39!). I've started my own business in the past year, too, and my husband and I have so much to celebrate each and every day.
We'll be toasting my donor at dinner tomorrow night!
