Exciting Day at the Blood Drive

Bonnie said the Blood Drive is going very well there have been some media coverage. There also was an appearance from Larry Frederick an ex police officer that was hit by a drunk driver going 65mph. He is an advocate for blood donation and an inspiration for healing. I found a couple of links with his accomplishments since his accident. For those of you on Facebook he also has a Facebook page which might have pictures with Bonnie today.

Also Dan Desrochers Director of Marketing at the Erie Community Blood Center left a comment on this mornings post which was very nice and appreciated...check it out!

Give Blood

Today is the big blood drive, see below. PLEASE try to ensure if you are able to give blood it is on your "TO DO" list today. I personally have seen it mentioned so many times on the news that there is a blood shortage and never really thought it would affect me anyway. It can affect any of us at any given time lets try to make giving blood an ongoing thing in our lives. I read that 9% of Americans give blood on an annual basis and if only 1% more would give we would never have blood shortages. I think that should be very easy!!

As always Henry continues to need all your prayers and support for his continued re cooperation. As Emily stated he has another surgery today on his elbow, may God watch over Henry and direct the hands of each surgeon that repairs his broken body!

We will be returning to Erie, Union City, the weekend of the 30th. We are very excited to see everyone but especially Henry. We know he has progressed so much since the last time we got to see him. That is what is wonderful about everyone keeping us informed and connected through this blog, texts and the phone. Thank you and see you all soon.
