Both my friends have stories about how platelet donors have impacted their lives! One of my friends had 3 brain surgeries and received blood transfusions and platelet transfusions that helped save his life. My other friend's daughter had cancer, and platelets helped save her life. She is now cancer-free. They expressed their gratitude, and even though my particular donations did not go to them, they still know how important it is that regular people like me do superhero acts that really make a difference. I feel blessed that I have my super power, and I will continue to share my platelets for as long as I am able!
