UNOs honoring Makenzie

 A few months ago, I received an inspiring call from a lady at UNOs (united network for organ sharing), who had heard about Kenzie's remarkable story and our annual Lemonade stand, which we've held for the past four years to honor Kenzie's memory and raise funds for DonorConnect  and other non-profit organizations we're proud to support. We've kept in touch, and yesterday, she messaged me about an email she'd sent, which contained a heartwarming surprise. I eagerly waited for Tyler Madsen  to arrive home, so we could experience it together as a family for the first time. As we watched, I felt tears of joy, knowing that Kenzie's legacy lives on, inspiring others. We're deeply grateful to continue our partnership with DonorConnect and UNOs. Their thoughtful gesture is a testament to the impact of Kenzie's story. I'm so grateful her story is still circulating around. What a wonderful Christmas/birthday gift they've given us! 

I had no idea 4 years ago when we started the lemonade stand how impactful it would be to everyone that knows us or have heard about the stand and Kenzie's story we shared in the summer.  in 2021. We were just planning on doing the stand for one day in June but when the news and the newspaper told it differently and said we would be out there every Saturday in June we decided to do it and here we are planning the 5th year of doing it in June again in honor of Kenzie.  

We are so grateful for this sweet message they gave us.
