Tripp was always more than glad to donate blood when I (his little sister) asked him to.
Fast forward four years later to the accident – we lost Tripp, and Drew was badly injured. He used blood to aid in his recovery.
I feel the blood Tripp gave so willingly somehow came back around to save Drew.
Our family is sponsoring the second-annual “Tripp Weed Now I Can Be a Jerk Week” Jan. 24-31 to encourage folks to perform random acts of kindness to commemorate Tripp’s birthday on Jan. 31.
Please consider giving blood to honor my big brother and my nephew – one pint of blood can help save up to three lives, and you never know who might need it!
This virtual blood drive will run for a whole month to allow plenty of time for folks to 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.
