Not me flying to the DR just to let my dad humble me on the beach 😭🌴 He wasn’t a dad that day, he was an athlete🏃🏽‍♂️ He watched me eat sand and still flexed 💀😂

Not an anniversary. Not a birthday. Just because I appreciate him. ❤️ 6 years strong and he still knows where to find me. 🎶 #YouKnowWhereToFindMe #carleypearce #husbands #🏳️‍🌈

💉 Donation Day in Houston = Done! 💪❤️ I got to do something that means more to me than I can ever put into words… I donated my stem cells to a 21 year old guy battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. 🤍 I don’t know him personally. I don’t know his favorite song, his name, or what kind of person he dreams of being… but I know he’s fighting for his life. I know he’s got people who love him and are praying for him. And I know that, somehow, I was blessed to be his match. As I sat there hooked up to the machine, watching the blood flow and those stem cells collect, I thought about all the people I couldn’t help. My friends, my family, the ones I’ve lost to cancer, and the ones still fighting it with everything they have. I thought about every time I wished I could’ve done something and how today, I finally got the chance! This donation, it’s for all of them. For the ones who didn’t get the miracle they deserved. For the ones who are still in the middle of the fight. For their families who wake up every day praying for one more tomorrow. And for this 21 year old guy, the one I matched with whose life I hope continues for a long, long time. ❤️ I may never meet him, but a piece of me will always be with him. And maybe, just maybe, that’s what love for strangers really looks like. I couldn’t save the ones I lost… but I can honor them by helping someone else stay. So yeah, I’m sore and I’m tired and I swelled up like a balloon from all the fluids, but I’ve never felt more grateful, more alive, or more proud to be a match. If you’ve ever thought about joining the NMDP registry, please do. You could be the reason a family gets to hug their person again. You could be the miracle someone’s praying for right now. This one’s for my people who have passed, my people still fighting, and for the young man out there getting another chance. I may not know you, but I’m rooting for you with everything I’ve got. Somewhere out there, a piece of me is fighting alongside him and that’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever been a part of. Maybe we don’t get to save everyone but we can honor them by saving someone.🤍 Thank you @NMDP for this life changing opportunity 🤍 #BeTheMatch #NMDP #StemCellDonor #ForTheOnesWeLost #ForTheOnesStillFighting
