The Daisy Foundation wanted to say thank you to nurses everywhere by establishing a recognition program, The Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses. An acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, The Daisy Foundation was formed in November 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at the age of 33 of complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The nursing care Patrick received when hospitalized profoundly touched his family. CYCLING FOR SIGHT Jackson Hospital sponsored a water station for Cycling for Sight. The event is a 20-mile, 45-mile, 65-mile and 100-mile fun ride to benefit the Montgomery Lions Club Community Foundation charities 501(c)(3). The ride commemorates Helen Keller, a native Alabamian, who courageously challenged Lions Club members to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” TIDBITS Do you have a nurse you would like to acknowledge?
