Our goal is 100 donors!
You have all already done so much for our family, especially for Scott, I hate to ask for anything, but please, if you can, donate blood!
A few fun facts-to spread the excitement! :)
Every two seconds someone in the U.S needs blood.
Scott has received 20 units of blood products in the last 2+ months
The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.
Scott's blood type is O+.
A total of 30 million blood products are transfused each year in the U.S.
1 person donating blood=help for three people who need blood.
Scott needed blood to help him get well and I believe preserved his life. I am so grateful for the generous donations of strangers everywhere that compassionately donated blood that helped my brother.

(Can't help but post again--one of my favorite photos of Scott).
We will have delicious drinks and treats for all (you can't beat my Mom's brownies!) but mostly our hearts will be full of love and gratitude. We have wanted to do this since day one of Scott's hospital admission and I am so happy to see if being fulfilled. Thank you so much. Words can not express my gratitude.
