Celebrating Life Calendar 2004 -
An Inspirational Gift
"Life is short-eat dessert first" is a motto that 65-year-old Jim
Horan lives by. A retired veterinarian and avid skydiver, Jim is one of
thirteen transplant survivors featured in BMT InfoNet's 2004 Celebrating Life
calendar.
"The photos in this year's calendar are spectacular," says Lynne
Spina, calendar project coordinator. "In addition to Jim skydiving, we have
photos of an elephant trainer, a skier, a little boy fishing, a grandmother
playing with her grandchildren and lots more-each celebrating life in their own
special way since their transplant."
A beautiful series of art quilts created by transplant survivor
Victoria Bartling are also showcased in the wall calendar. Each quilt
represents an important milestone in Bartling's transplant experience that will
resonate with transplant survivors.
The Celebrating Life Calendar, which will be available November 1,
2003, is $12 and can be ordered by phoning 888-597-7674 or
online. Proceeds from the calendar sales
will help support the work of BMT InfoNet.
