The “Oh My Darlin’” drink special is still on the menu at Kid Shelleen’s restaurant in Trolley Square, and the Nephrology and Urology departments decided to stop by and have a few rounds! We are very appreciative of everyone’s support of our foundation and look forward to finding fun and innovative ways to raise money […]
One year ago today Susan Piper Lee, the namesake and inspiration for this foundation, received the gift of life by way of a new kidney. The extremely talented surgeons, anesthesiologists, nephrologists and nurses all came together and took one of her daddy’s kidneys and carefully placed it in Piper’s tiny abdomen. A year later, she […]
We’d like to thank Kid Shelleen’s and Harry’s Hospitality Group for their wonderful help in the month of November! All proceeds from the sales of the delicious Oh My Darlin’ cocktail at Kid Shelleen’s go to benefit Piper’s Kidney Beans Foundation. They will make you one with alcohol or one without alcohol so the kids […]
On Sunday, we were thrilled to be a part of NKF’s Wilmington Kidney Walk. We partnered with A.I. duPont Hospital for Children’s “Kidney Kids” team, but we also had a lot of our closest friends out supporting Piper’s Kidney Beans Foundation as well. Here is our oldest daughter Sophia and her friends Joe and Max […]

We are excited because Piper’s Kidney Beans Foundation is teaming up with A.I. duPont Hospital for Children’s Kidney Kids team. Here are the shirts we’ll be wearing for the walk: We have now really begun our mission […]
This weekend, Channel 6 Action News did a profile on our story. It’s pretty cool because Philadelphia is the 4th largest media market in the country, so some 6,000,000+ people potentially saw it. http://6abc.com/health/delaware-dad-donates-kidney-to-save-his-daughter/798214/ I hope you all had a nice Father’s Day. I know mine was extra special! Love – Chris and Erin Please […]
As you have undoubtedly noticed, the website has undergone some changes and we are excited to begin to focus on the Foundation’s charitable goals. That said, I thought now would be a good time to write an update on Piper’s condition. In a word, Piper is doing GREAT. Her latest appointment was on Monday, June […]
It was a hell of a week last week so I’m glad we are starting a new week. Piper came home on Friday afternoon and is doing very well. We have to keep her PICC line flushed twice a day and she continues to take Flagyl four times a day for her c.diff., but thankfully, […]
Our little Piper has been checked back into the hospital for a few more nights as the diarrhea continues to ravage her hydration efforts and her poor little backside. They got a new IV put in today (after a lot of effort and frustration) and they’ve decided to insert a PICC line tomorrow so that […]
After a much needed six nights in Jamaica, Erin and I returned home to gastric madness! We are so thankful to both of our mothers for staying with the kids while we went on vacation, especially since it wasn’t quite as easy and painless as we’d hoped for them. Early in the vacation, we got […]
