PATIENTS SEEKING DONORS

Many years ago I happened to see my file at the local hospital and the doctor’s notes. I didn’t get past the first line. “Stephanie Lazzarini, a pleasant but unfortunate 38 year old”. I wondered if that was it. My one liner.
I’ve decided that it needed a little sprucing up! So here goes- rapid style from most important to least.
- I’m hilarious- no really it’s true
- I’m obsessed with my two nephews-(yes - I’m that crazy zia)
- I’m a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a partner, and a friend
- I loved my dog Bella- my sidekick for 16 years
- I love to feed people and my specialty is my world famous biscotti.
- I’m sarcastic by nature but tend to be the momma bear with my friends.
- I love to travel and hope to explore every corner of the world
-I have an insatiable curiosity and am stubborn to a fault
- I’m an association executive and marketing professional of over 20 years.
- I live in Toronto Canada but my heart is from Montreal.
I’m 44 and I’m going to need a kidney transplant…
See how I slipped that in there. It’s a part of me but not the important part. 🙂

I am hoping to find a donor before I need to start dialysis. If you are considering becomig a kidney donor, please reach out to me.
