Gife Blood, Give Life

While Jared was in the hospital, he had to get a blood transfusion. He got 2 units of blood.

I was talking to one of the doctors there, and apparently blood is not something that they have tons and tons of in stock, so I decided on a mission to replace the blood by 5 times to give back.

It would take me years to do it myself, so I thought I might ask for help. I have one friend that donated already, so that just leaves 9 people left to donate. I am going to go on the 25th to a blood drive, so that leaves 8 people.

Consider finding a drive in your area and give blood. Let me know if you do. Jared will be touched by the gesture.

Drive information www.givelife.org you can put in your zipcode and they will tell you about drives near you.

I'll do it! I just looked up the requirements for nursing moms to give blood and I fit it. I'm going to talk James into doing it too!
