KIDNEY STORIES: PROJECT MOM


Project MOM (Mom on a Mission) honors the life of Brittany Stark by promoting the Donate Life California Registry. Please consider signing up to be an organ and tissue donor in her memory at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org/Brittany.
Description
Brittany has now been gone almost as long as she lived.  But she continues to inspire to this very day.  Her mom currently is riding a bike from San Francisco to raise awareness. She'll arrive at Children's Hospital in San Diego by Mother's Day.
 
My Crazy Idea: I promised Brittany I would promote organ and tissue donation always. I don't want other families to face the loss we did. This next birthday is big. It's been 15 years since my 14-year-old died. I wanted to do something spec.al. Hence, the idea of a bike trip from San Francisco to San Diego.
My plan is to start April 29 (Donate Life Month) and arrive at Rady Children's by Mother's Day. Rady is where Brittany died and where I'm blessed to work as a Parent Liaison.
My 620-mile bike route is outlined in black along the coast. My tentative plans are to visit hospitals, churches, DMVs, and Donate Life Champions like the Salt Creek Grille restaurant.
