Here is the latest update as of Friday, September 17, 2010 from Andria:

 

Hello everyone,

 

This year I celebrated my sixth year of having my transplant.

 

Every year a big group of my close friend and family meet in Philadelphia to walk for donor awareness.
My team name is Dia's Dazzlin' Dashers. Every year I raise more and more money for this cause and I hope to keep that going.

 

I am a senior at Souderton area high school. After high school, I will be heading to college and hope to someday be an elementary school teacher.

 

I hope to go to college somewhere close by. I have been looking at a few places like Kutztown, West Chester, ESU and Shippensburg
which all have really good education programs.

 

Outside of school, I participate in many things with my youth group. I'm representing the youth on our church council this year.
I also volunteer every Wednesday at my church's emergency food pantry.

 

Lastly, I spend lots of time with my friends and family, whether it’s shopping, going to the beach or just hanging out.

 

Hope you enjoy the collage of me and my friends.

Can't wait to update again.

 

Love,

Andria
