| Charity motorcycle ride for Lancaster Man | 8/7/2010 | Buford Sports Cafe, N. Rocky River Rd. - Lancaster, SC | A kidney/pancreas transplant costs approximately $425,000. Even with health insurance, Geiger faces significant medical expenses related to his transplant. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. His exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam most likely contributed to his condition. Although he doesn't live far from the transplant center in Chapel Hill, NC, he and his wife, Diane, must temporarily relocate to be closer to the hospital during recovery after he receives his transplant, incurring substantial travel expenses. To help offset these expenses, Geiger turned to the National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) for assistance. Friends and family are holding a charity motorcycle ride in Geiger’s honor Saturday, August 7 with a rain date of August 14. The ride will start at Buford Sports Café, 1423 N. Rocky River Rd. in Lancaster. Last bike out at noon and all must be in by 5 p.m. Admission is $20 for single riders, $30 for double riders and $10 for non-riders, and refreshments are included. Live entertainment by BandAnna will begin at 6 p.m., and food will be served from 5 to 6 p.m. Tickets for several drawings will be available for purchase, and prizes include items from Harley Davidson, Domino’s Pizza, Jamin Leather and Griffins Pools & Spas. For more information about the event, please contact Gail Chomicz at 704-996-6642 or gailshaglady@aol.com. To make a tax-deductible gift in honor of Geiger, please send a contribution to the NFT South Carolina Kidney/Pancreas Fund, 5350 Poplar Ave., Suite 430, Memphis, TN 38119. Please be sure to write “in honor of David Geiger” on the memo line. Secure donations also can be made online at www.transplants.org. Donors should click on “Patients We Help” to locate Geiger. |
