Follow on Google News | Loving Life Because of LannaA Virginia woman who is a long-time employee at Details: A Unique Gift Boutique in Haymarket (VA) courageously gave her kidney to a stranger. Jewelry designer John Medeiros was inspired to name his newest collection the "Lanna" Collection.
In September 2010, Lanna, at the age of 56, donated her kidney to a woman she had never met. The recipient was a wife and mother of four young boys who was suffering from the devastating effects of diabetes and relied on dialysis to sustain her life. Lanna’s selfless and admirable act added at least 20 years to the woman’s life. “I felt compassion and I was at a point in my life where at the end of the day I’m blessed, and I just wanted to give back in some way,” explains Krogman, continuing on that ”people come into your life for a reason, and because of this experience, I tend to look at people that come into my life as a very special gift”. The Lanna collection from John Medeiros includes designs reflective of kidney shaped beads with hand cut cubic zirconia accents of amethyst, pave crystals, multiple strands of John’s traditional mixture of Rhodium and gold two tone effect. The collection is rare, powerful, and beautiful, just as is Lanna’s story. “I’m honored to have the collection named after me – it just makes me smile,” Krogman exclaimed while seeing the line at Details: A Unique Gift Boutique for the first time. The Lanna Collection is priced under $200, and is now available at Details: A Unique Gift Boutique in Haymarket, Virginia. # # # Chic Communications is a public relations, marketing, and special events firm specializing in Luxury Lifestyle Brands End
