The YNOTT? team enjoyed our trip to Michigan to host our ”Circle of Hope” support group and to hang out with pediatric transplant patients at the University of Michigan Transplant Center “Camp Michitanki” transplant camp. This camp is for children 7-15 years of age who have had an organ transplant. (http://michigantransplant.org/pdf/TCNews_Winter07.pdf)

Our trip to Clevealnd, OH to educate 200+ students at the Kidney Foundation of Ohio and Cleveland MOTTEP ”Healthy Teens, Healthy Tomorrow” went great! We spoke on positive lifestyle choices and risk factors contributing to chronic illness. Our founder Edward “MR YNOTT” was the emcee and keynote speaker for the event.

Our team visits Capital University in Columbus, OH each semester to educate nursing students on the struggles of living with kidney disease. We also discuss the process leading up to transplantation, and life afterwards.

Our team had a fantastic time at this year’s NKF of Ohio & Kentucky ”Kappa Kidney Kamp”!!!  This Camp offers a wonderful array of summertime activities in an environment specifically designed for youngsters ages 8 to 18 years old who are either on dialysis or who have had a kidney transplant. We look forward to participating in next year’s Camp!

“There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.”- Leo F. Buscaglia

Our team enjoyed our visit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to host our ”Circle of Hope” support group session and to hang out with pediatric transplant patients!!!
