On May 25th, Shelly’s life changed forever. After feeling unwell, and on advice from her doctor she headed to the hospital for some tests. Shelly didn’t realize that she wouldn’t be coming home to her loving family again for weeks. Test results revealed Shelly had Acute Myeloid Leukemia and would need to immediately begin chemotherapy. Shelly has since received a total of 21 units of blood and platelets and will continue to need more.
Shelly’s family and friends welcome you to join them in donating blood in her honor at your local American Red Cross from July 26 to 31, 2021.
