This is the most important thing we can talk about right now.

Seems our little reminder about Lily landed for a few folks!

We're so grateful for your support and willingness to continue to share Lily's story with the hope of finding her a kidney donor. 

And, there is still work to be done.

You asked us a really important question and we got you an answer!

You asked us for Lily’s blood type. As you can imagine this is one of the FIRST ways to know if you, or someone you know, could be a match for Lily.

Lily's blood type is O+. 

None of her family members are a good match and it could take years for Lily to find a match via a transplant list. Lily is undergoing daily dialysis treatments so she doesn't have that kind of time left. 

Are you an O+ blood type?

If you're interested in seeing if you could be a match and learning about the process please email Donna Tissot, Lily’s advocate, and she will assist you. Her email address is: donnat628@gmail.com

An inquiry does not mean you have committed to anything. Donna can simply give you information and answer your questions. 

You can read more about Lily and her story HERE. 

NOT A MATCH? YOU CAN STILL HELP! 
There are two ways... 

1. Share Lily’s story.

When you share a message you never know how far and wide your reach may be. Thank you for taking a minute to forwarding this to your network. 

2. Learn about kidney donation. 
Most often, just KNOWING something can help someone. Taking a few minutes to learn about kidney donation means we can simply be more aware and have informed conversations with others on this important topic. Who knows! It could help us inform or encourage someone else to become a donor. 

In 2016, Dylan Matthews donated his kidney to a complete stranger. He documents how and why in his incredible story, How to Save a Stranger's Life.

Thank you for taking a moment to read this and for potentially saving Lily's life.

-Jeff & The Diamond6 Team

We haven't seen Jeff in weeks. Here's why...

It's true, we haven't seen Jeff in weeks!

He left the rest of us here in the office while heading to Hawaii nearly two weeks ago to run a leadership workshop with students from Penn State University.

Then, earlier this week he traded in his Hawaiian shirt for a coat and fancy hat to join his classmates at his 50th college reunion from West Point. 

We're not at all bitter about it. Really, we're not ;)

He will surely regale us with many stories of his travel adventures when he returns to the office. We can't wait to hear them!

Storytelling is such a powerful and engaging teaching tool. Stories help connect us to each other, to events, and to lessons. 

That is why we use storytelling in all our leadership workshops. 

One of the consequences and most important lessons from the Attack on Pearl Harbor, is that it germinated a unity amongst the American people; that great team called the nation. 

Talk about a great story!

In this McCausland Monday video and blog post Jeff shares the background of an important monument at Pearl Harbor and the most important lesson we can learn from this historic event.
