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!"

A United American Red Cross

The American Red Cross is the leader in collecting blood donations and now, donors will have an easier time finding information on donation locations.

As of December 16, the American Red Cross has a united website www.redcrossblood.org instead of different sites per region. This will allow donors to educate themselves on the process, find local centers/donor sites, or even sign up to host a blood drive themselves.

You can also learn more about all that the American Red Cross does by visiting www.redcross.org which will also link you to the blood donor site. Take a few moments to find a blood drive near you and save a life!
