Transplant a success!

The cover of this week's The Almanac features family friend Geri Whalen along with her sister, Dana Christner in the article, Sister act. A follow up Almanac story, Sisters' kidney transplant a success (Saved in Google Docs), Terri Johnson updated Geri's condition.

Geri's "super kidney" as she likes to call it, started working immediately. Please consider attending a fundraiser to be held this Thursday. The fundraiser is to help with expenses not covered by medical insurance beginning at 5 p.m. Jan. 24 at Del’s Bar and Ristorante in Bloomfield. There is a $10 cover charge with appetizers and pasta bar, organized by another sister, Jennifer LaBella. For more information on the fund raiser, call 412-860-8805. Or email me at EGillen476@aol.com and I will pass it on to the committee.

To make a contribution in Geri's honor, please click on the links in an earlier Lebo Citizens post, Local Sisters Organize Fundraiser To Help Pay For Transplant Surgery . Thank you!
