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!"

Nexcare Gives for World Blood Donor Day

Can you believe it? It's been a year since I last told you about World Blood Donor Day (June 14) and that time of year is upon us again!

That's right, Monday is World Blood Donor Day and once again Nexcare is celebrating by donating bandages to America's Blood Centers across the US and if you visit www.nexcare.com/give you can even sign up to have some FREE sample bandages sent your way (there is a daily limit so sign up early in the day).

Also featured on the Nexcare site are the stories of volunteers, donors, recipients and more - even my story is there - visit the link in the right-side column. You can learn so much from others on the need for blood, I ask that you visit all of the stories and see where the inspiration is for you ~ celebrate World Blood Donor day be being a donor!
