✨ Celebrating a Miracle – 21 Years ✨
Today marks 21 years since Paul received his life-saving stem cell transplant — a gift given by his brother Nicholas, who was his perfect match. 💛

As we celebrate this anniversary, we’re also thinking of the families still fighting. Too many children continue to battle cancer, and too many parents are waiting for the same miracle we were blessed with.

In honor of Paul and Nicholas, we’re raising funds to support kids with cancer and their families. 💛

If you’d like to help us continue this mission, any support — sharing, donating, or spreading awareness — makes a difference. Please visit https://www.thepaulluisifoundation.org

This remarkable honor makes the Maria Fareri Pediatric Cancer Center only the third program in the United States to receive this designation.

65 bears, 65 smiles. Today The Paul Luisi Foundation proudly donated 65 bears to bring joy to children facing illness. Each bear carries a hug from us to them.

All of the preparations for today’s Gala has distracted me from what actually today means to us. It’s one of the best days of our lives. Nick sat at a machine for 5 hours donating 5 million stem cells, Angela fainted at the sight of it, Marc trekked back from college and Paul waited patiently upstairs in his room for the bag of stem cells to arrive that saved his life. Greg & I held our breath and prayed. We are blessed!
