Thanks to all who made the first ever PINTS FOR PINTS a success. We had 21 pints of blood donated! Collectively, we saved up to 63 lives! We had only one person just about pass out (Michelle)but she has already committed to going back for another donation next time (of platelets this time).
This was a great tribute to Marc!
We look forward to the next opportunity to give blood. For those of us who gave this past Sunday, we can give again at the beginning of the year.
