Primary Childrens Hospital

One of my dear friends and running partner for years, Jill Heaps, has a daughter named Emily who just endured a bone marrow transplant. Emily is 6 years old. Emily was a "bubble baby" born with almost no immune system. Her sister Jackie who is 12 donated her bone marrow and immunities to Emily. Emily is doing great and responding well to the transplant! Her brother Thomas hung out with us after school during the first few weeks and so one day after school we surprised Emily with a visit. They were so happy to see each other!
