@Jeopardy@KenJennings Yay! Happy birthday @KenJennings ! My husband & I just watched you host tonight's Masters Tourney & really love what a great job you do!
A big thank you & shout out to Anzueth at @RepJuanVargas's office for meeting with us today to chat about the Live Saving Leave Act, HR 3024! What a great way to spend my first visit to DC! #ProtectDonorJobs @BTMPublicPolicy
Prepping to fly to DC tomorrow to join @BTMPublicPolicy in D.C. as we ask Congress to support donor job protection legislation to help save the lives of patients with blood cancers and blood diseases. I'll post about our efforts over the next few days! #ProtectDonorJobs

'Woman' is my momma! The story about how my grandma, mom, & sister have all been parts of life-saving organ/marrow donation efforts! It mentions 3 generations, but it technically is 4 because my nephew was a marrow donor too!

Today is the 11th anniversary of my marrow donation to this lovely lady, Jessica! How amazing that those cells have been working so well for so long already! I'm so grateful @BeTheMatch made it possible for me to help Jess and change her/her family's lives. Here's to many more!
Woohoo! Thanks to @GavinNewsom for signing Charlie's Law, which will make it easier for Californians to learn how they can join and diversify the national bone marrow registry.

Just another weekday...🤩Filming for @BTMPublicPolicy & talking about my experience as a donor & advocating for programs like #CharliesLaw, which if signed by @GavinNewsom, will establish donor recruitment w/in the DMV!
Just dropped off info to @RepJuanVargas's office about H.R. 7770 - a bill that would federally protect 40 hr of marrow donor leave as part of FMLA! Thanks to Antonio who was there to chat w/ me about it! I treated myself afterwards to some @TacosElGordo_ & Senorita Bread!
This was initially an issue for me at my job when I donated. Luckily I had a wonderful HR rep who knew how important the mission was and worked with me to make it happen. It would've been so much easier if I hadn't had to worry about it at all though!
Donors should be able to say yes to saving a life without the fear of losing their job. We support national donor job protection legislation that would allow for 40 nonconsecutive, unpaid hours of leave to donate bone marrow or blood stem cells. 💚 💙 https://t.co/XM0BBRS1D1
