Saving Gabbi : The Heart of a Child

By LJ James | December 29, 2008

There maybe no greater thing people can do in this world then saving the life of a child. We rely on Doctors and medicine to cure diseases most of us just do not understand. Doctors work very hard and do the best they can with what they have learned, But I believe the real cure is hope! A sick person must believe they are going to get better and know that there are many people out there doing the same.

I met a beautiful little 10 year old girl named Gabriella. Gabbi has been diagnosed with a rare Blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia.What this means is that her Bone marrow is not producing new blood cells to replace the old ones. Without treatment this could mean the end of young Gabbi’s life.

David Negron,President of the MU Foundation an Organization who’s motto is “We help kids fight back” Decided to take on the task of not only raising money for Gabbi’s treatments but raising what is most important hope. On September 30th 2008 David and his staff called upon the Motorcyclists of the Long Island NY area to take a ride with them out to Martha Clara vineyards in Riverhead. and with around 100 Motorcycles in attendance they rode out on a bright sunny Sunday. Where they did just a little wine tasting.

Then it was off to the Celebration at Brennans in Hauppauge, Where all the Riders where welcomed to some great Bar-B-Q, Live Music by a band I really enjoyed 3 on 6 (3on6.tripod.com) and all where greeted by a Smiling Gabbi and her Familiey. I spoke with Gabi and her family, they told me about how Allie (Gabi’s 13 year old Sister) had recentley given Gabbi some of her Bone Marrow. I could not help but laugh as I read what Allie had written on the back of the T-shirt she had received from the Hospital after the transplant ” I donated my Bone Marrow and all I got was this Stupid T-shirt”

The Family seems very optimistic of Gabbi’s full recovery and I could see why, one look in Her eyes and anyone could tell Gabbi has the strength most men brag about having! This Benefit was a huge Success and with the Money raised from the run and all the Raffles over $5000 is going directly to Gabbi and her Family! If you would like info on how you can help Gabbi or other Children like her go to www.mufoundation.net

With all the positive energy surrounding Gabbi I know she will soon be fully healed!!! Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com and Radio Show at Bikerlowdown.com
