Imagine, for just 2 seconds, that your life hangs in the balance and the only people that can save you from certain death, are complete strangers.

I do not have to imagine it, I live it - everyday. Instead of being a victim of a rare blood disorder or the survivor of a near death experience, I choose to be a LIVING TESTIMONY of the need for blood donors. As an advocate and spokesperson working with the nation's two largest blood collection organizations, I hope to connect donors to the lives they save through education, encouragement and open communication. Together, we can save lives, one pint at a time.


Every 2 seconds, someone requires a blood transfusion to live.

That's why "It's Hip 2 Give!"

Welcome!

Friends, family and followers - I welcome you to my new blog regarding the Gift of Life through Blood Donation.

For several years as you have followed my blog for Celebrate You!, I have sprinkled in information regarding Anemia, it's affects/treatments and my experience. I decided that because I was spending quite a bit of dedicated time on this topic, I would start a blog specifically for the cause of blood donation since it saved my life more than once.

The first few entries are posts that you may have found on the CY! blog, but I thought I would import them here for future reference.

I appreciate all of your love, care and concern and I battle this disease and continue to encourage everyone to donate - one hour of your time can save one life.

Enjoy!
