I had never given blood. I knew the importance but still, never gave.
My brother Chris was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia around 2008. Over the years of living with the Leukemia he had to have blood transfusions.
Those blood transfusions is one of the reasons he was able to live over 12 years with the disease. Due to people so selflessly donating my brother was able to have life a little longer.
My family and I lost my brother in June 2020 after a long fought battle. I made a vow then that I would donate blood to "repay" those who had donated the blood that my brother received.
My first donation was on July 1st and my second on August 31st. I have set a goal to donate every 56-60 days so that I can help someone who is in the same position my brother was in so many times before his passing.
