Phil blogged about The Serenity Foundation’s National Blogger Blood Drive (say that 5 times fast!) but I wanted to write about it as well.
Serenity received many, many blood transfusions in the early weeks of her battle with ALL. It was almost miraculous to witness how much better she would feel after receiving someone else’s blood over the course of 3 hours. While I have always had an appreciation for blood donation, seeing it save my daughter’s life & restore her vitality really brought home the importance of this.
On July 30, we will be sponsoring a blood drive in Draper, Utah. It goes from 3 pm to 8 pm and there will be food (I think), movies, and really awesome company. PLEASE if you are able, come donate blood. Here is a list of donor requirements. If you can’t donate blood I hope that you will still stop by to say hi and show your support of those of us with needles sticking out of our arms. 
ARUP is the sole provider of blood to Primary Children’s Medical Center, where Serenity is treated.
They are holding several promotion this summer, so when you donate blood you could win a free car or a $50 gas card. (Someone from our group will win a gas card.)
The location of the blood drive is Twelve Horses. They are located at 13961 South Minuteman Drive, Suite 125, Draper, Utah. According to MapQuest, if you are coming from the south take the 14600 SO./UT-140 exit, EXIT 288. Turn right onto Highland Drive and left onto Minuteman Drive.
Please help us spread the word by blogging about this, or promote it on Digg, Stumble, or Twitter. Tag your entries #tsfblood. We would love to have a great turnout.
If you are not nearby but would like to organize a blood drive in your area, please let us know how we can help.
