Just cught the episode which features the Lizzie Bell Blood Drive. All I can say is “Thank You’ from the bottom of my heart. The donating of blood ( whole, platlets, apheresis, double reds, whatever) is one of the few things left in this world in to which I whole heartedly subscribe. As you stated in the program only about 1 in 20 ever donate (and many never to be seen again), and then one has to consider only 40% of the population is even eligable. I donate at least 6 times a year (sometimes more when considering the calander or apheresis donations) whether it be through the Red Cross of INOVA (regional). So much for me… but why I am writing is that you collected over 11,000 units of blood. That is more than incredible (my eyes are misty as I write). Not since 911 have I even heard of such an outpouring. Please do not stop here. Educate the public and continue this totally life saving endeavor. This may be the most direct way of helping to save lives in which each of us are able to participate. Once again 11,000 units! Incredible! Please, let’s continue!

Sincerely,

Randy Causey

Hey Lizzie!

I’m 19 years old and live in Florida. I watched the Extreme Makeover Home Edition of your family and I was inspired! I gave blood last year for the first time at my college and I was pretty scared… But once I did it I felt accomplished, and now I will always know that I helped save a life. I found out that I was A Positive and even though it’s not a rare blood type, many people still need it. So in the future you may see my name on a pint of blood you are receiving. That makes me feel like I’m actually living my life right!

Keep up your good work and you will always be in my prayers!
