On April 30 I will celebrate my 45th birthday. Now while I would love to have a huge party, drink a bit more happy juice than I should and get more gifts than I deserve, I really want 1 thing. Actually….I would like 45 things. Here is what I mean:

People don’t stop having surgery or traumatic injuries and cancer does not take a day off. What do all those things have in common? The need for blood and platelets. For the past few years, I have been a regular at the local American Red Cross office giving platelets. Platelets last about a week so the turn around time is very quick. Blood is good for a few months if frozen but for some reason, platelets has been my thing. I call them, book an appointment and I give. It is simple. So what does that have to do with April 30? Well, this is what I am looking to do:

The American Red Cross is in constant need of blood and platelets. Period. Stocks are insanely low now. So join me. I will be at the local office around 11 am. I will be donating platelets. I ask you to join me. Actually, I am looking for 45 people to join me in donating on that day. 45 people for 45 years on Earth. Please call the number below and schedule a donation on April 30. Blood is about 30 minutes and platelets is about 2 hours.

Please post pictures of yourself here so all can see who helped out.

Thank you for your help,
