RELAY WALK 2010 DEDICATION TO KATIE GRACE, KURTIS, DONNA

THROUGH ORGANS 'R' US ("ORU"), THE RELAY WALK PROMOTES DONATION
Since 2005, the transfer of the baton from walker to walker symbolizes the transfer of an organ from donor to recipient. The 2010 Relay Walk is dedicated to Katie Grace, Kurtis and Donna.

KATIE GRACE'S BODY WALKS A MARATHON DAILY TO SURVIVE
When she was eleven days old, Katie Grace Groebner (born July 16, 2002) of Mankato, MN, began fainting weekly. At age three, Katie Grace developed a heart murmur that doctors said she would outgrow. In February 2008, tests showed that Katie Grace had pulmonary hypertension curable only by a heart lung transplant. In August 2008, the Groebners moved to Clayton, CA, to began treatment at Stanford Hospital. Although Katie Grace receives medication by vein 24 hours a day, she will cheer runners and walkers at The Relay finish.

FIGHTING FOR KURTIS IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
When he was five days old, Kurtis Lindsay (born November 26, 2003) of Reno, NV, had surgery for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. After two additional heart surgeries, the Lindsay family moved to Palo Alto in October 2006 to wait for a heart donor. After receiving a new heart on December 7, 2006, Kurtis' blue lips turned pink for the first time. Kurtis loves his older brother, EJ, french fries and his dog, Karlee. Kurtis will cheer his family and friends when team Fighting for Kurtis crosses the finish of The Relay Walk.

DONNA LEADS LIVER ON THE EDGE WALKERS
In 2003 at age 53, Donna Montana of Walnut Creek, CA, learned that she had liver disease. In October 2004, Donna moved to Florida to wait for an organ donor. Donna received a liver on February 12, 2005, which failed. After remaining in a coma for four days, Donna received a second liver on February 16, 2005, from a 39-year-old Georgia woman. In addition to working as a Vice President for First Bank, Donna volunteers at the Walnut Creek DMV registering organ donors. Donna will participate in her fourth Relay Walk including leading team Liver on the Edge for the third time.
