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!"

BOWLed over!

Being saved by blood donors has only enhanced my life beyond imagination - but by far the best part of life, is seeing my daughter grow up.

This past weekend, we celebrated her 11th birthday with a Bowling Party. Strictly her idea and it turned out absolutely fabulous. Lexi and 14 of her closest friends/family joined her in the celebration. Of course, her party isn't complete with out her signature zebra print and lime green flair, so as you will see the cake was certainly the centerpiece of all centerpieces.

I am eternally grateful for blood donors as they will ensure that I will continue to see Lexi grow and mature into the lovely young lady we are already seeing.

Happy Birthday Jellibean!
