3 Blood Drives in One Week




Wow! My first week working with my platform as Miss Racine has been very busy. I attended 3 blood drives this week; 2 just in one day!! However, the busy schedule was well with the time spent with heroes. I attended blood drives at Johnson Financial Bank, St. Lucy's School, and Iris USA. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to share my stories, and hear other people's experiences. I had the chance to spend time with a veteran at St. Lucy's School who said that he has donated over 9 gallons of blood. What an accomplishment!

The words of encouragement and support will stay with me forever. I held the hands of many who were nervous, or it was their first time donating. The memories made and knowledge gained will stay with me forever. I look forward to my journey that still awaits me. I know that I am making a difference, and it is clearer to me know more than ever.

Britani,
You are doing such a good job promoting your Miss Racine platform. I am so proud of you. Let me know when we're going to donate blood again.
