To honor and aid such dear-hearts fighting the fight of their lives, please consider donating platelets,through the process called apheresis, at the Summit County Headquarters of the American Red Cross or a location near your home. The good folk there will inform any inquisitive and caring mind as to the importance of platelet therapy to many of our loved ones who must undergoe either chemo or radiation therapy!

...Hey Babe...What's your sign? I'm AB+...every 2 seconds, someone in America needs blood. Only 5 percent of the eligible U.S. population actually donates blood and only 30 percent of first-time blood donors come back to give a second time. What greater gift can you give than the gift of life?
