Welcome to our team page. From here, you can help support Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University as we participate in the Winship 5K Run/Walk. 

My name is Kimi Cottmeyer and I am survivor! My bone marrow transplant was on December 20, 2019 at Emory Winship Cancer Institute! We are forever grateful to my donor, Clemens Hacker.  He lives in Germany #GutentagYall, and my husband and I got to meet him IN PERSON July 2024! He and his girlfriend, Anna, are now part of the Cottmeyer family! #CottsLoveClemensandAnna 

I was taken care of by the amazing Emory BMT team, and covered in prayer every single step of the way! #PeaceLoveandEmory #GodShowsUp  One of my first goals during recovery was to be able to participate in this 5k.  I watched ALL of the amazing runners and felt the JOY of the 5k from my window in the Emory Tower when I was enduring chemo prior to my transplant in 2019.  I walked the halls of the hospital with my IV pole and I could barely make it around 1 time.  Now, almost 5 years later, I am so happy to get to be a Team Leader and enjoy this celebration with everyone! I 5k for ALL of the patients that are not able to 5k right now just like me in 2019.
