The 26th annual Dash for Donation is just around the corner!
Macy Meadows was a sweet, hard working 9-year-old who brought so much hope and joy to the world! She was a daughter to Scott and Angel, a twin sister to Mack, a big sister to Laynie and Kinley, and a friend to all she met.
There really wasn’t a place or activity that Macy didn’t LOVE… school, softball, soccer, gymnastics, playing the piano, running, cheerleading, dancing, reading, singing, swimming, making crafts, baking etc. You name it, she was willing to try it. Adventure could have been her middle name.
Just a few of Macy’s favorite things included, her family and friends, her Double Doodle Doggie, chocolate cake, her shoe collection, and the Buckeyes. She loved all things glittery and pink, and she wanted to wear a dress and high heels daily. Whether on the softball diamond, the soccer field, in dance or gymnastics class, piano lessons, or the classroom, Macy was ALWAYS smiling. It was contagious to all those around her.
On June 14th 2016, on her way to a softball game, Macy experienced an AVM rupture, and her precious brain began to bleed. Despite the efforts of the doctors and staff at Nationwide Children’s hospital, Macy was declared “brain dead” on June 15th. On the evening of June 17th into the early morning hours of the 18th, Macy gave the ultimate gift. She gave the gift of a healthy heart, liver, pancreas, and 2 kidneys to 2 children and 2 adults through organ donation.
Please help us honor our Donor Hero, Macy, and her organ recipients on Saturday, July 12 as we run/walk with thousands of others through downtown Columbus to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation.
The Dash is raising funds to benefit Lifeline of Ohio’s programs, and all contributions will celebrate the ripple effect each can make through organ, eye and tissue donation. Please consider helping us by making a financial contribution (large or small) to our walk. Every dollar makes a difference!
Please consider joining us as we “Dash” for Donation and share Macy’s legacy of HOPE, LOVE, and JOY with the world.
#WorkHardSmileBeKind - Just Like Macy
As always, thank you for your support.
The Meadows Family
