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.
I posted a flier earlier to detail the formal process of the donation, but here is a great video by the American Red Cross that clearly displays the process from Arm to Arm.
If you haven't donated, please consider it today - you could save two lives, including mine!
