| JOSHUA At two years old Joshua was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia, and has often needed blood transfusions for his condition. "Sometimes I feel like I can't take it anymore but soon after I receive the transfusion the pain goes away," says Joshua, "I would like to say 'thank you' to the blood donors who continue to save my life." |
| HELEN After being diagnosed with Leukemia in December 2011, Helen was immediately sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital where she would receive her first of many blood transfusions to help her survive the fight with the cancer living in her blood and spinal fluid. Today, Helen is 11-years old and her cancer is in remission. |
| ERIN Just after Erin brought new life into this world with the delivery of her third child, blood donors saved hers.Because five people took a few minutes to donate, her new baby has a mother. She has now pledged to become a faithful and frequent blood donor. |
