## Special Sunshine Request

Breakfast and Blood Donation, Sat, Feb 21st, 8:30 am
Longtime CECPTA member Peggy Epley really needs our support right now, as her daughter Kaci has been diagnosed with leukemia. Kaci has been through several rounds of chemotherapy, and she is scheduled for a bone marrow transplant. We pray that she has a positive response to the surgery and that she will be cancer-free very soon.
As you can imagine, the Epleys are not in need of our traditional Sunshine efforts, which are to provide meals. The way in which we can truly help is to donate blood in Kaci's name, so that she can build up "credits" for future procedures. Your blood type does not need to "match" Kaci's - she receives credits for any donations, which offset the cost of any blood units she will need in the future.
Please join us on Saturday, February 21st to give the gift of life. We will meet at the IHOP on Beltline Road in Addison, near the Babies R Us, just east of Marsh Lane. We can enjoy a good breakfast then all go over to the Addison Carter Blood Care Center (3959 Belt Line Rd., Addison) and donate as a group. If you are uncertain if you qualify to donate, please check out the Carter Blood Care web site at ww.carterbloodcare.org or call (972) 960-8895. Sign up sheets will be available at the February meeting, or call Elizabeth Howell to get on the list of donors for that day. Of course, you are welcome to go and donate on your own at any time that is convenient for you, but going as a group may help some of us who are a little more squeamish about donating. Blood donation should take about 30-40 minutes.
(**If you are interested, Kaci also needs platelets donated. This procedure is lengthier (2 hours) but platelets are vital to leukemia patients!!)
Please find the time in your weekend to help a fellow mom who is fighting a terrible disease with her daughter. Thank you in advance for your support!
