I followed Katie's journey via the email connection Caring Bridge.org. Though I never met Katie or her loving family, just reading the updates made me so aware of the tremendous need for any healthy individual to take the step to being able to possibly save someone facing this nasty, evil disease. I am too old and a cancer survivor so not able to be considered as a donor - to my great regret. I have challanged my family and friends to take my place and the place of others of us who wish we could help but cannot. Saving a life is a gift to the world! Katie made a difference in her short time here - I wonder what wonderful things she could have accomplished had she been blessed with many years. I think the world lost someone very special...
