The international bone marrow registry is made up of 34 different countries. Over half the marrow matches made worldwide are between donors and patients who live in different countries.

My friend Janet Liang, a 24 year old Leukemia patient I met two years ago, has posted a video on Youtube saying her doctors have told her she only has 5 weeks left to find a bone marrow match or it will be too late. Will you help me spread the word?

I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP. CLICK HERE to learn how you can help me help Janet

Also in need is 22 year old Cristina Di Corte. She is looking for, most likely, a bone marrow donor of Italian descent. Cristina suffers from a disease so rare it took doctors four years to diagnose her condition as MNGIE. Learn more at her website HelpingCristina.org

A Holiday Gift Drive for Lynzie Taylor Barton

Lynzie Taylor Barton is a ten year old girl fighting a hard battle against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia since May of this year.

After months of chemotherapy, fighting infections, and receiving blood and platelet transfusions Lynzie's family has depleted their savings and could use some help with Christmas this year. My friend Roger Contreras, a recovering cancer patient himself, has arranged a gift drive to benefit Lynzie and her family to help give them some holiday cheer during what has to be the most difficult year that Lynzie's family has ever endured.

More Causes to Care About

Part of what makes life interesting is that we aren't all the same

In the United State of America everyone deserves equal rights meaning all laws must be applied equally. I'm not just talking about the right to marry but the legal protections and benefits that the married are given.

I was really happy and flattered to be a tasting judge for the 2011 Bridal Chocolate Salon Awards of Excellence competition. You can see lots of pictures of delicious chocolate and read what it was like tasting over 40 chocolates in 90 minutes by CLICKING HERE.

I was awarded Wish Upon a Wedding's Shining Star award in Nov. 2010 by the San Francisco Chapter's Board of Directors. The award is their way to thank and pay tribute to wedding professionals who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.

A new book titled "Life on Your Terms" shares the story of how I became an entrepreneur. You'll find my bio in the chapter titled: "Letting Go of Fear." But my experience is just a very small part of a very large story about author Shann Vander Leek's own experiences and 39 other entrepreneurs who have also sought life on their terms.

I took Mark Ferrell's Master of Ceremonies Workshop (Bronze Level) in May 2010 and it was a transformative. You can read all about it by CLICKING HERE.

In late 2009 I was approached by "Be The Match" formerly known as The National Marrow Donor Program, because they had seen the volunteer, marrow donor recruitment and education advocacy I had been doing online ever since my cousin Tami had become ill in Feb. 2009. They said there were others like me out there, just doing their own thing supporting the program and they wanted to create a formal support system for us at "Be The Match."

I was invited to be a part of a focus group that over the course of several weeks, gave feedback as they designed the SMART program. Once completed, I was invited to become one of its first members and officially passed the test in May of 2010.

I was honored to receive recognition from the "Women's Initiative" for being recognized as an outstanding business in 2009. The Women's Initiative supports women, particularly minority and financial challenged women, by teaching them how to become self sufficient entrepreneurs and offer micro-funding to help them launch their new companies.

Things I Do

A wedding and event planning resource that offers super cool event ideas and talented & trustworthy professionals

A Patient's DIY Tutorial: How to launch a bone marrow or stem cell donor drive.

Advocating for people world wide to join the marrow donor program. I built this site in 2009 when my cousin Tami was diagnosed with a blood cancer called MDS and needed an adult stem cell transplant to survive. Thankfully an anonymous donor stepped forward but not all patients are so lucky. Thousands die each year here in the US for lack of finding a marrow match.

This is an old hobby. I used to make teeny, tiny, miniature origami cranes. By the thousands.
