Penny Felimer Kalani: She was the class organizer; now she needs help
The Sacred Hearts Academy class of 1984 is foregoing a 20th reunion to focus on a sister in need. Class president Penny Felimer Kalani has been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, amyloidosis, and is awaiting a heart transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Her classmates have begun a campaign to help Kalani with her medical bills and to generate awareness about the disease. A bake and garage sale, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 14 at Sacred Hearts Academy is the centerpiece of that campaign.
Amyloidosis is a disease in which proteins called amyloids are deposited in body tissues.
