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!"

New Year's Resolution: Save More Lives

As 2010 draws to a close and 2011 is knocking on the door, we all reflect on what the year brought to each of us and what adventure the next year will reveal.

With resolutions to lose weight, to quit smoking, spend more time at home or an array of other things, why not make a resolution to save someone's life. Profound and simple at the same time.

January springs forth new life for everyone it seems and I can think of no better way to feel better in the coming year than to participate in National Blood Donor Month by making a donation.




In 2011 I will have a few resolutions but one I am sure that I will be successful in is that I will continue to connect more donors to the lives they save. With continued support from regional/national organizations, along with family and friends, I am positive that more lives will be saved one pint at a time.
