Blood Center of Wisconsin Recognition Event

Hello Everyone!

On September 9th, I was honored to be asked to attend the 2006 Blood Center of Wisconsin Recognition Event. The event was held at the Milwaukee Brewers stadium, and followed by a Brewer's game againest the Huston Astros. At the event, I had the pleasure of meeting 2 young individuals-Trevon and Kayla-who have sickle cell anemia. They both recieve blood transfusion on a regular basis, but yet were 2 of the happiest people I have ever met. It was wonderful to meet both of them who are living proof that blood donation matters.
I also met Jacki, the CEO of the Blood Center of Wisconsin. I enjoyed every second I was given to tell her about the role blood donation plays in my life, and about my program.

Please look in the near future for pictures of me with the three of them.
