My wife bravely battled for seven years after being diagnosed with leukemia and esophageal cancer in 2014. Throughout, multiple blood and platelet transfusions were administered as part of her treatment before she passed away in 2021. I remain grateful to her donors for giving us the priceless gift of more time together.

Every blood donation can save up to three lives. I donate blood multiple times per year so I can give families the same precious gift my wife and I received.

Visit the Miller Keystone Blood Center for additional information and upcoming donation events.
