August 3rd, 2024 was the best day of our lives. Grace entered the world and immediately stole our hearts. She is the best thing to ever happen to us, filling our days with joy and laughter.
But August 3rd is also a day that marks another life-changing moment for me. Thanks to the quick actions of incredible doctors and nurses, I received 10 units of blood, along with platelets and clotting transfusions, to combat severe hemorrhaging. These life-saving measures were only possible because of the generosity of blood donors.
We are incredibly lucky to have a beautiful, healthy baby girl and to be able to celebrate her first birthday together as a family. In honor of Grace’s birthday, we are hosting this blood drive with the goal of replacing the units I received and ensuring that others in need of these life-saving treatments have access to them—so they, too, can continue to celebrate milestones with their loved ones.
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.
