The lead video is a two time breast cancer survivor who tells her story and how her age almost prevented her from being tested. My brother and my mother died of colon cancer, my cousin died of ovarian cancer, and my aunt died of breast cancer. Neither one of them wanted to go through chemotherapy because of the side affects. One side affect of chemotherapy is low platelet count and by donating your platelet, you will be giving cancer patients the strength they need to keep fighting. Did you know that donated platelets are given to cancer patients within 5 days of collection. So let’s help them fight by donating your platelets. And remember when you donate, go to your social media page and post #SHACMAKEITCOUNT #CANCERKICKER
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?
