Pat's Bone Marrow Donor Celebration

Pat was recently invited to the Lone Star Circle of Life Celebration at Grapevine. This event was to honor those who had donated bone marrow or organs to others. The bike riders are a group of people who volunteer their time and efforts to honor donors and spread the word to others about becoming a donor.
The guy who was riding to honor Pat was Kenneth Morales. Their group rides all over Texas. The next day they were biking to Waco.

Pat's mom; Joy Mercer and sister; Shari Wright came to join the celebration and see what it was all about.

Pat did a great job speaking about his experience as a bone marrow stem cell donor. He did this last September (2007).



Afterwards, Joy, Pat and I had dinner at PF Chang's, a first for me and it was great!

When Anjolee told me about him doing that I thought that it was really cool.

That video was very sweet...what a neat way to relate to the donor.

Thanks Pat for being a good example of what the rest of us should be doing and thanks for sharing Debbie!
