My Angel Foundation is honored to be hosting the 2nd Annual Ashlie Duit Memorial 5K Run and Walk for Organ, Eye and Tissue Donor Awareness in Nevada on Saturday, October 2nd. Ashlie Duit was 21 years old when she tragically died due to complications of hemodialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant. Ashlie was a daughter, a sister and a friend to many. She was deeply loved and is greatly missed. Her transplant, from a living donor, was schedule to take place less than one month after her death. The miracle she was waiting for came too late. Please join Ashlie’s family and friends in support of organ donation awareness and help reduce the wait for the thousands of people whose lives hang in the balance.

Whether you run, walk, wheel, volunteer, cheer or make a charitable donation, it's a great way to support this life-changing cause.

This story begins in the summer of 2005, as we packed up our U-Haul and readied our little family (it was only Nate and Kim at the time) for our new lives in Iowa. We had been married for two and half years at this point and were ready for a change…a big change. As we waved goodbye to Utah – the mountains, the dry climate, the best snow on earth – and said hello to Iowa – flat terrain, corn, humidity, blistering cold – we never would have guessed how drastically our lives were about to change.

Read the entire story.

My Angel Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that consists of passionate individuals who are dedicated to the promoting and celebrating organ and tissue donation, supporting transplant recipients, and encouraging others to spread hope through compassion. Without the many that support us, we would not be able to attain the goals of the foundation.
