WOW!!!!!!!!!! Our Bone Marrow Drive and Silent Auction were both HUGE successes!!!!! We registered TWO HUNDRED AND NINE people to be on the Bone Marrow Registry!!! We thank God, our family, friends, community, and the many many many people who gave their time, energy, talents, and donations to make this drive a success. We raised an overwhelming amount of monetary donations that will completely fund this drive and the remaining amount will go to the Hold My Hand for Life Foundation. We are in awe of the Good that God did through all of you this weekend and in the preceding weeks. On behalf of the entire Lamm family…thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We have complete faith that we will have a match for Ethan and Isaac when the time comes. Thank you thank you thank you. Pictures to come!

On March 27th we will be holding a Bone Marrow Donation Drive in order to find a bone marrow donor for Ethan and Isaac. Joining the Bone Marrow Registry means just getting a simple, painless cheek swab. Testing of the swabs costs about $50 a person, which is why we are also having a silent auction to raise funds for the drive! We ask that anyone who can make a donation for the testing, do so. Those generous donations and funds raised at the silent auction will cover the cost of the testing.

Now is the time to get your business in the Life Saving Business! Hold My Hand For Life will be holding a silent auction to raise funds to hold a bone marrow drive on March 27th. This would be a great advertising tool for you and a life saving one for Ethan and Isaac! Check back soon to see a list of the many exciting items that will be auctioned off! You can contact us at the email link to the right or contact a HMHFL member at 434-960-0863.

Many local businesses and even a Major League Baseball team or two have already promised items for the auction! Spring_Fling_2010_-_flyer

Come save a life….or TWO!!!
