As many of you already know, Aunt Mary O’Connor is bravely battling leukemia at MD Anderson in Houston, TX. Her treatment requires regular blood transfusions—lifesaving gifts that only come from donors.
Every donation helps patients like Mary stay strong in their fight. One blood donation can save up to three lives. Platelets are especially critical for cancer patients. While your blood or platelet donation may not directly benefit Aunt Mary during her treatment, donating blood or platelets allows for more blood to be available to Aunt Mary, blood that could be a potential match.
Join Team Mary by donating blood or platelets. Your gift of life matters more than you know.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
