A poker tournament has been planned in order to raise funds for Leah's double lung transplant. It is being held at Cullens Cove located in Mechanicsville, Va. Leah has gotten a new fight in her, she is amazed at the outpouring of support, love and concern that everyone is showing. This is the kind of thing that will keep her motivated and her spirits lifted high to get her through the challenges she is going through and will continue to go through for some time.
She has started the program at Duke to prepare her body and mind for the transplant. They are currently staying in a hotel until they can secure an apartment. She has enjoyed reading the comments and thanks for taking the time to read her story. She spends most of her days at the Duke Center for Living Campus where they have her exercising her body and listening to lectures in preparation for the transplant.
