Zoe's Bone Marrow Buddies: Hope Happens Here

In 2007 Zoë's Bone Marrow Buddies was formed to raise funds to benefit the Riley Children's Hospital, Stem Cell Unit, in loving memory of Zoë Bontrager Schultz. From the time Zoë was eighteen months old she spent many months at Riley Children Hospital in the Stem Cell Transplant Unit, fighting a life threatening immune disorder that required a bone marrow transplant. Zoë went through many medical procedures and hospitalizations, but on December 7th 2006,Zoë lost her fight during her second bone marrow transplant. Zoë was a fighter. She fought everyday of her three years here on Earth. Because of her strong spirit we knew that we had to continue to fight, to honor Zoë and to help all of the families that struggle everyday in the Stem Cell Transplant Unit. So through a lot of tears, with a lot of love and with more hope than we thought possible, we have founded Zoë's Bone Marrow Buddies in loving memory of our beautiful daughter.

abinjojo - the song is Telluride's Hope Happens Here. They are an up and coming country band that visited Riley Hospital for Children and wrote this song after their visit. I hope that your friend enjoys the Hope of the song!

I'm SO sorry for your loss--I appreciate your strength even more because I've been in your spot of hoping my child would survive, & he did. Thank-you for continuing to fight/share with the world about your precious daughter! God bless. :o)
