A cord match has been found! Pray that the transplant can go forward and that it all goes well. My 11 year old son has been crying tears of joy all morning Yesterday someone stole his fundraiser money box and he felt like he let Marcia down. Today he is just so excited and happy. frt- This isn't about being a fan of one team or another. It is about something so much bigger, so I hope it is alright that I posted the news.
Definitely alright that you posted this - this is the kind of news that matters, unlike this trite crap we usually wring our hands about around here. I heard rumors floating around to this effect but didn't want to post anything prematurely.....thanks for confirming.
agreed, this kind of stuff makes this stupid game look... well stupid. hope to see andy play with a lot of emotion again, and if not, oh well. The guy has much more important things on his mind. Celebration on June 6th?
when will we know if it's working? Please god (or whatever higher power you believe in), let this workout!
great news. Also, I hope that SJ still plans on having their donor drive before the match on 5/30, there are still plenty of people out there who need to find a match.
how about the Deseret News http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705306710/Donor-to-help-RSL-players-wife.html
New update is up and my son has a special request. He is asking if all of you will go post words of support on Marcia's page. Very few people actually post and he thinks it may help if she sees replies from all who are praying for her and her family.
The problem is to comment on the Myspace blog requires having a Myspace account and I refuse to have one of those. Facebook, I have, but not Myspace. But, I'm so excited to know that there is a cord match and that it will be arriving soon. The support in Salt Lake, and in the soccer community around the country is strong for y'all. I admire how y'all are taking this difficult path with strength and grace.
Great news, and hopefully all the blood drives the individual teams can help thousands of others find there matches too! Perhaps MLS or teams can make this a yearly effort, build some community goodwill and what not.
This is fantastic. I can't believe I missed it before today. It makes the game I have been sitting here griping about for the last 4 hours seem completely and totally insignificant, inconsequential, etc. etc.. Best of luck to the Williams family. Andy is my all-time favorite and I am so happy for his wife and for him. Let's all hope it works! I hope it goes off perfectly and she and Andy live a long and happy life together. They deserve nothing but the best after all they have been through.
