Before death, woman gives gifts of life 12th motorcycle run to benefit children
Published on Tuesday, Sep 11, 2007
Family, friends and Akron City Hospital co-workers of Trina Kuczirka are mourning her untimely death.
The 36-year-old Bolivar woman who was six months pregnant was brought into the hospital's emergency room Sept. 1, complaining of severe abdominal pain and was admitted.
With her husband, Pete, at her side, Trina suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage.
''She was taken to surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain in an attempt to save her baby,'' said Jim Waples, an operating room supervisor who worked with Trina.
''The surgery was effective in stabilizing Trina to preserve the baby, but was too late to save her. . . . She was brought back to surgery on Sunday afternoon for a C-section.
''Her husband, Pete, was present and Trina delivered a baby boy, Zane Charles Kuczirka, weighing 2 pounds. He was transported to Akron Children's Hospital and is doing well in the neonatal intensive care unit,'' Waples said. ''Trina was taken back to the ICU where she was kept on life support. Her family decided to donate her organs and Trina once again was going to give the gift of life. She died Sunday, Sept. 2.''
Trina was a surgical technician in City Hospital's surgery department on the night shift. Her 10th anniversary with Summa would have been Sept. 8.
In addition to her husband and baby Zane, Trina leaves behind three other sons Spencer, 14; Lake, 8; and Conner, 5.
A Trina Kuczirka Benevolent Fund has been set up at FirstMerit Bank (any branch) to assist her family.
Race with Grace
The third annual Race with Grace 5K and fun walk benefiting the Mary Grace Memorial Fund will be Sunday at Buehler's River Styx market in Medina.

The Mary Grace Memorial Foundation not only celebrates the life of the late Mary Grace a young wife and mother of three who battled breast cancer for two years before her death on Jan. 8, 2005 but also helps others battling the disease with financial burdens.
The foundation which has raised more than $70,000 has helped 22 families in Northeast Ohio with mortgage payments, rent, utility bills, car payments so their main focus can be fighting the cancer.
Great start
More than 3,000 Summit and Portage county residents are expected to take part in the American Heart Association's 2007 Start! Heart Walk on Saturday at the University of Akron's Stile Field House.
The event which is designed to garner research dollars to fight cardiovascular disease will feature survivors in red caps as well as their loved ones.

Get Money Back By Shopping Online
One of my goals for this year is to find ways to cut costs and save money on all of my purchases. I have become a fan of CVS over the last few weeks because they accept coupons and you can earn ECB (extra care bucks). I'm fortunate that I have family members that share their money saving secrets with me, and I'm about to share 2 secrets with you!
My Two Secrets? Refundcents.com and Cashbaq.com
I signed up with Cashbaq.com since its free, I earned $5 just for signing up and I do a lot of online buying. With this program I can save money on my purchases and earn money on the same purchases without having to use coupons or leave my house! Now that's a great reason to shop!
Refundcents.com
Since I new to using coupons and earning extra care bucks I decided to signup for the online membership and the print subscription. I was pleasently surprised to see that the cost of this membership was so "frugal"! I'm excited to learn more about saving money for my family and still buy name brand products.

Week 1 of Menu Planning!
I have conquered week 1 of menu planning! Breakfast is usually cereals (hot or cold) or bagels with cream cheese. For lunch, during the week, its usually just me and hubby so we eat leftovers or soup/sandwhich/salad. Dinner is our biggest meal, which purposely has a starch, veggies,fruit, meat. I have a Fly Lady calendar http://www.flylady.com/pages/FlyShop_calendar.asp which has a lot of room and record our dinners on.
I'm hoping to continue getting creative and healthy with our meals. I want to be a good steward of my "temple"...it's in need of some reconstruction!
