Where Are They Now
November 2020 - Raye continues to be a huge advocate for blood donation. She recently shared this update with us: “Five years ago I was chosen as part of the I Am One Blood campaign to alert people to the fact that almost anyone can donate blood and have the joy and satisfaction of literally saving lives. Since that time, I have donated 25 more times. This has brought my total, since my first donation in 1968, to almost 17 gallons of whole blood. But, why would I not donate? I receive a free mini-health checkup every donation. I have the potential to save as many as three lives every donation. I get to be part of a community of donors who believe it is more blessed to give than to receive. I have never received blood, but my husband has. To those donors who help keep others’ hopes alive, I say, ‘You are wonderful, thank you.’ Please join me in donating.”
