Please Join us and support this amazing cause!!!!!

2010 is here!

These images I shot in our back yard on the night of New Years day! Magic!

Happy New Years to you all! Also just a little bit of extra good news. Our friend Denis after 7 or 8 years on the kidney transplant waiting list finally was moved to number one and received a kidney a couple weeks ago in San Diego. He is recovering well and we are so happy for him and for his family. We are also thankful for the donor!

Mike is headed to India for a month

Mike has been doing great with his recover and his numbers are beyond good. We are so happy for him. I think he needs to get away and get back to his love of travel. He has been invited to be a guest artists/ scholar in New Delhi for a month. He leaves in three days and will be in Chicago on route to India. We are all very excited for him.

While he is gone I will be redoing the house. Painting bedrooms and organizing stuff. Part of my New Years Resolution. Alex and I will miss Mike but it will be great for him and we will ge to hear all the amazing stories when he returns.

Yet another new chapter in the book of our lives! Will be updating you with images as I get them from him.

Happy 2010!!!!!

Transplant recipient to join Donate Life Run/Walk
Lino Angel will accompany Huntington Beach donor family on Saturday at Cal State Fullerton

FULLERTON Liver transplant recipient Lino Angel, 43, has been conserving all his energy to jog alongside his donor family in the seventh-annual Donate Life Run/Walk Family Festival on Saturday at Cal State Fullerton.

The fundraiser, benefitting the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry, is the largest event of its kind in the nation.

Angel will be among 235 friends and family on the festival's largest team, "Celebrating Scott Davis", when they take to the Titan field at 9 a.m. to remember the Huntington Beach teen who died last June in a skateboarding accident.

Davis' family donated the youth's heart, pancreas, two kidneys and a liver to five separate people.

"It was a miracle to get the liver, and I thank God every day that I can breathe," said Angel, a Downey resident and father of four who will accompany their parents and grandmother in the fundraiser.

Davis' father, Bill, said the family has met only one recipient – Angel – and that was by coincidence. Angel's son and Scott Davis wrestled in the same high school league.

"This fundraiser gives our family closure for Scott's accident," Davis said. "Someone got Scott's good heart."

More than 7,000 residents, business representatives and city officials will also participate.
Keynote speakers include Newport Beach Fire Dept. Capt. Chad Ponegalek, who will honor firefighter Kevin Pryor – a seven-organ donor in June 2008 when he died after fighting wildfires in northern California; Cal State Fullerton Professor Mike McGee and his living kidney donor, CSF alumna Amy Caterina; KIIS-FM's Manny on the Streets tissue recipient; and event founder Kathleen Hostert of Fullerton, who donated a kidney to her husband, Craig.

Celebrity guests include Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and "American Idol's" Chikezie.
Forty-five vendors and health screenings will also be available to families until 12:30 p.m.
