Plasma and blood donations have literally saved my life dozens of times since I was diagnosed with a rare and incurable autoimmune disease — ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia) — in November 2020. Thankfully, for the past two years, an experimental treatment has kept me out of the infusion chair and away from the regular plasma-based IVIG treatments I depended on after waking up in the ICU with ITP. But I’ll never be able to donate my own plasma or blood because of the disease and its treatments. Thousands of strangers donated to give me my life back, and now I’m asking for your help to return the favor.
Thank you,
Alex Miller
