Donorama 2009

One of the highlights from last week was 'Donorama 2009.' The American Red Cross 'Donorama 2009' was held at Crossroads Mall last Wednesday from 11am - 7pm and the turn out was fantastic. I think giving blood is one of the most selfless acts that a human being can do. It was amazing to see the crowds lining up and giving blood.
I met an incredible donor while I was there called Justin Meadows. He was not only a donor but a recipient. Justin was in a bad motorcycle accident last year and was in need of 100 units of blood. If it wasn't for 'The American Red Cross' and the blood drives that they do, Justin probably wouldn't be with us today. He will forever be grateful to the people that so selflessly give blood & continues to support 'The American Red Cross' blood drives. He himself gave blood last Wednesday and talked with donors about his experience & thanked them all. He was a true inspiration! I don't think alot of people realized that in 1 hour they just saved up to 3 lives!
This is a pic of Ted, Justin & myself - yes we were stuck in jail!
