56 for 56

Donating platelets, January 2026
0 /56

The nation’s blood supply is CRITICALLY low this winter, and with the onset of storms across the country it will only get worse. Thousands of cancer patients, including children, trauma victims, and surgery patients may go without lifesaving blood products if we don’t do something. Right. Now. 

For my 56th birthday this February, I’m asking 56 of my amazing friends to join me in making a dent in the supply shortage. My goal is to donate platelets and plasma once a month, every month, in 2026. I’m only asking you to donate once. One hour of your time can save a life. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Let’s do this!! #56for56
