My Story…
This year I will be running the 2024 Falmouth road race with the Tiny Transplant Titans Team! Tiny Transplant Titans is an organization which provides support to children who have received life saving transplants, those waiting for a gift of life as well as their families.
I originally heard about Tiny Transplant Titans from my very good friend Gianna, who I will be running alongside at the Falmouth Road Race. When I first met Gianna she shared her sister Jenna’s story with me. Jenna passed away during her second liver transplant back in 2005. Her first liver transplant was what gave her 20 years of life and all the beautiful stories Gianna has been able to share with me about her.
Hearing about the Tiny Titan himself Stephen Squiliante’s story as well as Gianna’s passion and enthusiasm about this organization I was inspired, which led me to join her in her efforts to raise money for this organization & awareness for organ donation.
As a nurse I’ve seen the exhausting wait patients experience for organ transplants, and how much this process can take a toll on them & their family as they wait in anticipation. After Hearing about the Tiny Transplant Titans and their efforts to provide relief and support to families during the wait for an organ, while also raising awareness for pediatric transplants and organ donation I knew I had to get involved!
I run for Gianna and her family in honor of their sister Jenna, Stephen, his family and all organ donors & recipients!
Thank you for your generous donations- Let’s Go Tiny Transplants!
Description
Tiny Transplant Titans is a 501(c)(3) that provides support to children who have received life-saving transplants, those waiting for their gift of life, and those needing a transplant in the future. We started this non-profit in honor of our son, Steve, who received a liver transplant at 22 months old. Our son, our experience and our support system motivated us to start Tiny Transplant Titans and we hope to provide support to other families going through the long road of pediatric transplant.
We are honored to be part of the 2024 ASICS Falmouth Road Race! The funds raised by our dedicated runners will allow us to help over 300 more children and families. Team Tiny Transplant Titans will be running 7 miles on August 18 to not only raise money but also raise awareness for organ donation.
Thank you for supporting our mission by running or donating to our team! Your generosity means the world to us and so many other families facing pediatric transplant. We could not do this without you! THANK YOU!
