In lieu of buying me presents, please consider donating to the University of Chicago Hospital.  Your donations will go directly to support the research of two of the most amazing Doctors who have provided my Mom and our entire family with unsurpassed levels of care and compassion over the last eight years.

Dr. Olatoyosi Odenike's work in the treatment of acute leukemia and stem cell transplantation not only saved my Mom's life but has extended her quality of life far beyond where any of us originally dared to hope was possible.

Dr. Jay Koyner's work in critical care nephrology continues to extend my Mom's quality of life in the face of continuing health challenges.

These two talented Doctors have already given me the best birthday present of all - more quality time with my Mom.  

Donations of any size will help us reach our fundraising goal, and your support would mean a lot to me personally. Thank you for helping me celebrate this milestone birthday!
