Entries RSSLast June Kelsey Crider graduated from Boulder High School with plans to attend Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO and fulfill her dream of being a photographer. But an undiagnosed hereditary kidney problem put all those plans on hold for her. Kelsey’s dad donated a kidney, but the transplant failed and Kelsey is now on the waiting list of the United Network for Organ Sharing. She currently has to have dialysis three days a week.
When Michelle Theall, Women’s Adventure’s founder, read about Kelsey in the local Boulder Daily Camera, she immediately wanted to make at least a part of Kelsey’s dream come true. Women’s Adventure is sponsoring a series of conferences in 2008 on writing and photography and Michelle invited Kelsey and her mom to attend the Photography Conference, taking place April 12-14, 2008, at no cost.
You can read more about Kelsey’s story at the Boulder Daily Camera (http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/feb/17/bhs-grad-fights-kidney-battle/). And, if you’re interested in reading more about the conferences, visit our website at www.magazineconference.com.
