I lost my wife to a Brain Tumor at the age of 51. My children were 22, 20 and 15 at that time. Now that I'm retired, I have time to donate my platelets so it can go to help other Cancer patients and cancer research! I lost her 10 years ago and miss her dearly. As long as the Lord keeps me healthy, I will donate my platelets once a month for as long as I can in honor of my wife!!!
