According to the Red Cross Blood Donation website every 15 seconds someone needs platelets. Platelets must be used within 5 days and new donors are needed every day. Anyone can give blood. You need to be at least 16 with an ID and parental consent (or 17 and older), weigh at least 110 pounds, and in good health. Whole blood donations can help up to 3 patients with a single donation and a person can give one unit of blood every 56 days. Plasma and platelets are also vital for all types of patients especially cancer patients. Please give blood if you are able.
A big thank you to all of those who came out this past weekend to give blood for my brother Mike Sharp. 42 units of blood were able to be given. We are so grateful for those who are supporting him in his fight against leukemia. There will be another Blood Drive April 1st at Mt. Hermon Fire District 9 from 9 am to 2 pm. We appreciate all donations of love and life for all the patients. You all have been amazing to my family and me.
