April 20, 2008 - The Blood Drive






Thank you everyone who came out yesterday to the blood drive!!! It is so amazing to witness the generosity of someone sitting there giving blood.



Thank you Tina, for arranging this drive... you did a great job, and it was so good to see you!



The day was awesome! As you can see by the updated pictures, Alex was able to attend the drive. It was a success! It was so wild... we were standing in the hall waiting to be interviewed in order to donate, when this stranger walked up to us and asked us what we were doing... he was the janitor of the building... we told him about the drive and who it was for, and he called his wife up to drive over, and these two strangers sat down to give blood for Alex's cause. Un-real!!!



I want to thank everyone who came... I wish I knew all of your names. Please know I mean YOU when I say thank you!



Thank you Dave Koz for coming out on your 50th birthday and thanks for bringing your friend Roxanne. It was so nice to meet her and I can't believe even she gave blood! The kindness and generosity just amazes me every day as we go through this ordeal.



I will tell you... this was my first time giving blood. I had never even given it a thought before all of this. I was even a little nervous about doing it... if I am honest. But... I figured with all of what Alex has gone through, the least I could do is sit there and give some much needed blood. ALL my worry was for nothing! It was such an easy process! It really only took a few minutes to give and didn't hurt a bit. It was such an easy thing to do, that I will seriously keep giving as much as I can.



Thank you everyone who came out! Thank you for giving up a part of your Saturday to do something in Alex's honor.


Alex and a VERY good friend of mine, Dave Koz

Check out all the good blood!
