My older brother, John Walker Montgomery was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009., and it turned out to be a very bad variant of the disease. Our family rallied around John to support, help, and do whatever we could for him, his wife Sue, and their two boys, Robert and Michael.
I was asked to submit bloodwork to determine if there was a familial bone marrow match I was a slightly better match and agreed to be a donor and in early May of 2010, my wife Beverly and I headed to Houston, Texas to MD Anderson to donate. The procedure was surprisingly painless and extremely easy. I was privileged and honored that I could do something so simple to help give John a chance at life again…
Do you want to donate some of your time? You really can be the miracle someone has been praying for! Here are some easy ways you can help from the privacy of your home.
It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.
Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give.
Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.
There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up
No one has ever become poor by giving.
