Dear All, I hope this finds you all well. Today has been empowering, informative and gave me some time to relax.
I started the day getting ready for the Jada Bascom Foundation board meeting. (Side note: If you are interested in serving on the Jada Bascom Foundation board we meet once a month, sometimes every other month, on the phone in a conference call for one hour. It is a great way to serve. We would like to have three more board members. If you are interested in serving please contact Ramona Lyddon, President of the JBF board, monalyddon@yahoo.com ) I was so moved by the energy and commitment of each of the board members at the meeting. The focus of the meeting was supporting me in the 3rd Steps To-Marrow walk and making the most of this opportunity to reach as many people as possible about the need for diversity on the Be The Match registry and getting the simple message “Text LIFE to 61474” spread far and wide. All of the board members stepped up and volunteered to help. Thank you to Ramona Lyddon, President of the JBF board; Nicholas Corbett, Secretary of the board; Karlene Hyer, Treasurer of the board; and Pat Healy,board member and JBF liaison in Arizona. Thank you for your commitment to the Jada Bascom Foundation’s life saving mission to enroll potential bone marrow donors. Thank you for sharing your unique voices, experience and talents.
