A Ride for Baby Granton

Granton Bayless is a six month old little boy from Bolivar, Missouri. In March of 2008, Granton was diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID.) SCID is a rare genetic disorder in which the immune system fails to develop. Granton is the light of his parents' life and has become the focus of prayer for a countless number of friends, family, and others. The financial strain on Granton's Mom and Dad has already been great and has only been overshadowed by the emotional strain they have felt over these last few weeks. On June 16th, 2008, I will set off on a five day, 330 mile solo bicycle ride to raise money for Granton's family. Your pledges will allow us all to attempt to help alleviate some of this financial strain. This Blog will let you know how you can contribute, as well as keeping you updated on the progress leading up to and during the ride.

Thank you for your support and Prayers,
Jayme Green

Bone Marrow Drive in Topeka, KS

I just found out about a Bone Marrow Drive here in Topeka at Washburn University. It will be held in the Washburn room of the Memorial Union from 11am to 6pm tomorrow, May 8th. Contact person is Tyler Goetz at 620-200-6128 or his email is tdgoetz@gmail.com. I just got off the phone with Tyler and this drive was set up independent of Granton's cause-however they have since learned about him through the drive in Dearing and have been mentioning his name in setting up and promoting their drive. I plan on being there to donate and would encourage anyone reading this to do the same.
