Dear Members, Families & Friends,
In February, 26 Rotarians used the code! One of those was a first-time donor with Bloodworks Northwest, and one of those donated platelets! Thank you for your time and donations. Three-year-old girls should be looking for leprechauns and pots of gold on St. Patrick’s Day, not receiving a cancer diagnosis. Jane was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes, lungs, and spine on St. Patrick’s Day in 2017. Less than a week later, she received two blood transfusions. When friends asked how they could help, the family encouraged people to donate blood and platelets. One third of all blood donations go to patients of all ages fighting cancer. When Jane received a blood transfusion, she called it “super blood.” Today, Jane is now seven-years cancer free and officially cured! To celebrate Jane and children like her, make a March donation in her honor! Take a pic and tag #4SweetJane and #bloodworksnw. When you donate by March 31, you could win a dream trip to Kauai. Details at https://www.bloodworksnw.org/win. Wherever you donate, be sure to let Bloodworks know you are donating with Rotary District 5030 or provide the code “5030” when you arrive to donate to count toward our cumulative impact!
