Today is the Delta Zeta "Sweet Caroline" Bone Marrow and Blood drive at USC. The drive is in honor of one of their sorority sisters who passed away from cancer. I am going with my friend Kayla to give a bone marrow sample. It's so important to get involved with these drives, because they really do save lives (get swabbed- save a life!). A 6 year old girl in Charlotte, Jordan Jemsek, is in need of bone marrow in order to fight leukemia. There will be a drive in honor of her March 5, and the Rowan County committee will definitely be there to support her and her family! I am so inspired by her bravery...We are praying for you, Jordan!
On a lighter note, I have training today. Just when walking was starting to become less painful. Now I get to look forward to a whole new set of sore muscles! Maybe I'll work off those Valentine's Day cupcakes my mom made for my roommates and me....:)
