From our Vice President, Katy's sister, Christine.
"11 years ago today, I had the opportunity to donate a kidney to my sister, Katy. And every year on this day (and so many other times throughout the year) she would thank me profusely. But in truth, I should have been thanking her...Katy taught me what it meant to be selfless.
She always thought of others before herself. Small acts of kindness brought her such joy. So this month, in her memory, I urge all who were inspired by Katy's story to put a little Oomph out in the world. Sign up to be an organ donor, donate blood, make a donation to your favorite charity, volunteer, do an act of kindness or say a prayer for someone in need. And don't forget to tag
..let's create a ripple effect rooted in our love for Katy Starck Monte. I miss you every day sister... because of you, I have been changed for good.
Now go out and make an impact in this world in Katy's memory!
