Virtual Blood Drive

In the 2 1/2 years Ryan was in treatment she received 5 blood transfusions. It is easy to overlook how routine a transfusion can seem, but I can tell you firsthand that they saved her life and made treatment more bearable. Blood Transfusion help children with leukemia by restoring dangerously low blood cell counts caused by cancer cells crowding out the bone marrow. Red cells help with fatigue, platelets support clotting and white cells help fight infection. Together, they ease anemia, reduce bleeding risk, support immunity and give kids the energy they need to keep going through treatment. One blood donation can help up to five children who fighting every day just to feel a little better. That is a pretty incredible impact for something that takes so little time. Please consider donating today!
