Fallopian Tubes

I am absolutely thrilled that they let me keep my tubes. I see a few posts, but none answering my specific questions.

I thought they would give me the specimen in 10% Formalin. It appears they put them in saline.

I can get the Formalin in ~5-7 days, but everything I'm reading says they'll start deteriorating. Currently have them in the fridge & waiting on a call back from the local vet to see if they'll sell me some Formalin.

Worst case scenario, does anybody have recommendations? 91% isopropyl in the fridge until I can get the Formalin?

I would like to not lose these babies. I've been waiting so long!

I have distilled water, 70% ethyl, and 91% isopropyl coming

Hello, 

I’m the Sponsorship Coordinator for Hike for Hope, hosted by The Speedy Foundation. I'm seeking donations & sponsors for this year’s hike on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at Donner Memorial State Park. Now in its seventh year, the hike brings our community together to raise critical funds for suicide prevention in the Tahoe Truckee region. Note: you do not need to be local to donate or sponsor!

Your sponsorship supports three critical local efforts: 

  • Hope Squad peer-support programs that empower youth in local schools
  • Community-wide stigma-reduction efforts that encourage people to seek help
  • The Tahoe Truckee Suicide Prevention Coalition—the region’s only coalition dedicated solely to suicide prevention, coordinating education, outreach, and community strategies to reduce risk

Together, these efforts form the backbone of suicide prevention in our region. With government funding ending in July, support from local partners like you is essential to keep this work going.

By sponsoring the hike, you directly help protect youth, reduce isolation, and connect residents to help  in a region where nearly half of residents report struggling with mental health. 

Sponsors receive recognition through event marketing, social media, and on-site visibility. I am thrilled to provide a sponsorship packet to anyone who is interested, whether personally or through their business.

You can donate here!

Thank you for considering supporting this important work. 

With Hope, 

Tori Marsh

Sponsorship Coordinator
