Mya’s Heroes – Be The Match: 1400+ of Mya’s friends were swabbed, through two bone marrow swabbing drives, in attempts to be her donor. While they did not match Mya, we are learning that many of Mya’s Heroes have been contacted in order to provide hope to others: Lindsay F, Jason H, John P, Pat V, Jay G, Rich V, Cara M, Kelly T, Sandy L, Barbara L, Tina D, Kelly H, Nicole C, Jenna A and Christine L. You can too, get swabbed! http://BeTheMatch.org
Mya’s Mommy Bags: Mya’s Mommy Bags are gifts from a group of family and friends who supported our pediatric cancer warrior, who had been in many hospitals across the country. We know all too well how they may be feeling right now, as we have been through it ourselves with our own loved one. We slept on those same sofas and chairs (or didn’t sleep at all), and cried the many tears as they are. What we attempt to include in each bag is a collection of personal and comfort items for their use. The following is a not all inclusive, nor mutually exclusive, listing of items compiled by a group of volunteers: Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Lotion, Toothbrush and Tooth Paste, Pen and Paper, Razor and Shaving Cream, Cosmetics, Sweets, Fluffy Socks, Chapstick, Deodorant, Hair Ties, Hand Sanitizer, etc.
Random Acts of Kindness: In the true spirit of giving, and in attempts to stay true to Mya’s embraced way of life, we would like to encourage everyone to conduct a “Random Act of Kindness” in Mya’s honor. This may be as small as opening the door for a fellow commuter, purchasing a coffee for the lady behind you at Dunkin Donuts or as large as paying the tuition/scholarship of a fellow sports enthusiast at school. We asked that you do this, and simply present Mya’s card at the same time, so the recipient may too “Pass It On.” Click here download and print cards: 2014 MyaCard_nocrops
