The Krispy Kreme Doughnut fundraiser in Holbrook, AZ was a HUGE success. As of this afternoon, nearly every single one of the 1,000 boxes of doughnuts had been sold. Proceeds are expected to total $5,000!!! People in Holbrook and the surrounding areas have been amazing to us and our cause! We cannot thank everyone enough for their participation and suppport. The total funds raised from our fundraising efforts since April are over $11,500!
After months of consideration, research, and prayer, we have decided that we will be taking Ariana to Mexico for Umbilical Cord Blook Stem Cell Therapy. We are in the preliminary stages of booking right now, as the doctors will need to review Ariana's medical records and we will need to complete the requisite paperwork, but I'm sure the time will fly by. We are VERY excited to have reached this point, and I can't wait for Ariana to have this opportunity for potential improvement!
For those interested, this is a video describing stem cells and their role in healing in greater detail:

We are all grateful to Twyla for doing such a fabulous fundraising campaign in Holbrook for Ariana.
You are amazing Twyla, and you are appreciated by us all.

That is fantastic!!!
Stem cell therapy is set to become a major part of ATS, cancer, hearing loss treatments and of course plastic surgery. The need is however, is to ensure that these are stored in perfect condition before actually getting transplanted to the receiver’s body. This has made the industry of 'controlled rate freezers' to grow at a fast pace to keep up with the demand. I am doing a paper on ‘The Uses of Stem Cell Perseverance and the Techniques of Storing Them’ and found your post valuable.
