Angela Bushi is one of our special guests at the Ronald McDonald House of Miami and a link in the heart chain. Read her miraculous story as it was published in the Miami Herald last March 8th 2012……
After two stints in the hospital and more than a month on a ventilator, in December doctors gave her a new liver, pancreas and two kidneys donated from a 5-month old in Georgia. Only Angela’s diseased liver was removed. Her own two kidneys and pancreas were left in place. Removing them “was another surgery she didn’t need,” Tzakis said.
“In reality what we do reminds me of the gymnastics you see on the Olympics,” he added. “Are they nervous up there? I don’t think so. They’ve done this so many times, but they have to concentrate. They need to perform perfectly and land perfectly.”
University of Utah doctor Marvin Rallison first discovered the disease in a family he treated in the 1960s. Now in his 80s and wintering in Arizona, Rallison said he had only heard of one case in the United States and just 17 families affected around the world, including a few in the Middle East. He suspects Angela will some day be afflicted by growth and intellectual deficiencies most of the Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome patients suffer from, but in her case the disease won’t be fatal….
We celebrated 18th Annual Twelve Good Men Luncheon at Jungle Island past March 8th, 2012. Honoring 12 not good but GREAT men in the community for their philanthropic work with charities and non-profit organizations.
The event was a total success. We raised more than $60, 0000 to continue operations of the Houses in this anniversary year.
These 12 good men are definitely link in the heart chain, and you can be one too.
If you would like to nominate a candidate for next years event or would like to get more information please email us at 12goodmen@rmhcsouthflorida.org
