Maddie's Heart Journey Video

I'm so looking forward to the blood drive today. It sounds like we're getting a great turnout! This will be Maddie's debut too...there are still some who haven't gotten to "meet" her yet in person! She was in the newspapers this week, which was a fun way to spread the word about the blood drive. The write-ups were great! Here's the link to the Columbia Basin Herald's article printed on Thursday, Oct. 2.

Here's the DVD that will be playing at the blood drive today. It showcases Maddie's heart journey as well as her little heart buddies. So for those who cannot attend the blood drive today, you can be with us in spirit this way! Just push play and enjoy. It was fun to make and I was inspired by some other heart videos I've seen on blogs. Thanks to those who have helped organize, baked cookies, and are planning to give blood today! I'll post pictures of the event later!!!

Love it, love it, love it! The video turned out so good and I'm honored that you used Carlie in it. I'm actually going to be co-hosting a charity event and I was going to give a presentation, I think that I'll include a video as well...it is so touching. Good luck on the blood drive...best wishes.

Great job on the video!!!!! Thanks for your hard work on spreading the word. We need to get more support for this cause and their families. It breaks my heart when I read stories of some families not even having enough money for gas or a place to stay. We were lucky, but not every one is. Romans mom

Beautiful! You have done a wonderful job on this, Katie. I would love to share it, if I may? This should win an Emmy! I just loved watching all of our precious heart babies on one video together!
