Our thoughts are with
Melisa Pearce
, of Touched By A
Horse. Her daughter
Molly Pearce
is hospitalized at Omaha
University Medical Center with a grave illness that requires organ
transplants. Melissa and Molly are encouraging everyone to think
about becoming an organ donor by supporting “Donate Life.”
Catie Staszak
, former Sidelines Magazine Junior Perspective
columnist is doing quiet well in college. She reports, “You never
know what a simple gesture can turn into. Over the summer my
dad and I decided to help out a woman who was struggling to
hang up banners at the Belmont Stakes. The woman worked
for HRTV, one of my dream employers. Eight months later, that
woman remembered me, and she just offered me a job working
with HRTV this weekend. I’m going to be a production assistant at
the Eclipse Awards!! Ahhh!!” Congratulations Catie!
