But her determination to fight the disease continues to push her to challenge herself and inspire others. Tap our Story for more patients who are giving thanks to blood donors.
  • “We take a holistic approach, from the time they raise their hand at the military processing station to the time they’re no longer with us. The Red Cross is going to be there for those who have served their country and their families. I’m proud to be affiliated with the Red Cross and the military.” - Tony Briggs, U.S. Navy veteran and CEO of the Central California Region of the Red Cross.
  • Start a new #friendsgiving tradition this year that helps save lives! After you’ve eaten all the turkey you can handle, roll up your sleeve to donate blood or platelets. You could be the hero a hospital patient is waiting for. ❤️
