One month from today some of us from the UK we will be ascending upon Vail Rocks in Colorado!! Of course the weekend will be filled with fun, music, dancing and more! But, today, we were reminded what Love Hope Strength is truly about…saving lives.
We just received this email from Erin and Malcolm who stumbled upon Vail Rocks last year. Enjoy the read and THANK YOU for being a part of Love Hope Strength and for allowing us to make moments like this possible. 26 new matches were located in the USA this month alone!!
Stay Alive!

“Hi, I wanted to send you this picture. Last summer my husband and I attended your event in Vail. The ironic thing is that we did not know about the event until we got to Vail, we had simply left Denver for the weekend and headed to the mountains to try to process the news about his mother – she had just been diagnosed with soft tissue bone cancer.
We ended up at your concert just by walking to dinner.
At the event my husband did a cheek swab. 2 months ago Malcolm received a phone call that he had been matched with a 28 year old woman with Leukemia. Right now he is in DC performing the donation.
I just thought you might want to see that your event and your mission is working. Because of you, a life today has been changed forever. Make that 10. Our family will never be the same after this amazing experience.
We have had to move from the Denver, the city we love, to Fort Worth, Texas to be closer to his mother. Please let us know how we can help spread the word about your event and stay involved!”
Warmly,
Erin Williams
