It's About Saving Lives
"I was 18 years old and just as invincible as any
teenage thinks they are. I was running 2 miles a day,
enjoying life and getting the most I could out of it I could.
The next week I found out I had a disease that meant I would die
if I couldn't rely on blood donations that people give
regularly." |

It's About Caring
"I first donated blood when I was in high school. Now, 33
years later, I think I've donated somewhere between 5 to 7
gallons of blood." |
