"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone." -Ronald Reagan
A small update is in order on a recent article I wrote about Liz Rieckmann called "Scream Out For Liz."
First and foremost is that after over a year of waiting, a pair of lungs became available last week. The sadness for another family has created hope and joy in the hearts of the Rieckmann family. Liz underwent the double-lung transplant at Emory Hospital in Atlanta late last week.
Her condition is still guarded at this time with the normal concerns and cautions that exist. This is major league deal and your prayers are needed for her, the doctors, staff and family. When you do say those prayers, say one for the anonymous donor.
As I have said before many times, you impact people in ways you may never know. A prayer said, a comment passed inspires someone to become an organ donor. That person places a card in their wallet and one day, unknowingly dies and his/her organs are used to save the lives of others. You see, everything that you do, large or small matters.
For Liz Rieckmann, the battle for survival continues as she recovers from the transplant. The hard work of getting past these initial days continues. The long road to full recovery will take time and your generous gifts to help pay for her recovery are also needed. So if you can help out by giving a tax-deductible gift, it will scream out support for Liz until she can herself.
You can learn about Liz Rieckmann here and more importantly, your tax-deductible gift can be DONATED HERE. If you wish to send a check in the mail, please send it to;

And be sure to write "in honor of Liz Rieckmann" on the memo line.
Keep screaming out for Liz and stay inspired my friends.
