On November 7, 2017, our beloved Linda Patterson left this world and her physical pain to a new home of eternal rest and peace. She blessed us all in her 67 years with unconditional love, infectious laughter and incredible patience and forgiveness. Even in her last 9 years as she fought the terrible disease of cancer, she saw good in everything and everyone. Though she lost in the end, she gained our respect and adoration for a hard fight.
In her honor, I would like to challenge each and everyone of you who knew her well, with offering the gift of platelets and/or blood donation in her honor. Over the course of her treatments, she received a number of transfusions from strangers who cared to save lives. Let’s give back in her honor with a goal of 67 total donations through the American Red Cross. Whether just once or a number of times, you will be "loving Linda" each time you give.
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.
