DREAMS DO COME TRUE

"In August 2006, I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. After that I started receiving blood and platelet transfusions every week at Lee Memorial hospital in Ft. Myers to stay alive. Quite literally, the people who donated blood saved my life. I was kept alive through these transfusions for two years until I could receive my stem cell transplant at Moffitt Cancer Center in June 2009. I spent three and a half months at the Hope Lodge on the campus in Tampa after my stem cell transplant and received more blood and platelets there. Now, whenever I see a bloodmobile I stop and thank the donors so they can see the face of someone whose life was saved by them." - Tracy Smith


Tracy Smith and her daughter Chelsea during a trip to Busch Gardens. "It is the first time in over five years I did not have to use a wheelchair to get around in a place like this."
