How you can help...
Blood & Platelet Donations
During Quinn's initial treatment, he received multiple blood transfusions during his brain surgery. We thought, "well that makes sense, it's brain surgery." However as he started to show the effects of the harsh chemotherapy treatments he was on, he needed blood or platelet transfusions daily.
We saw the direct positive effects these transfusions had on Quinnie, they were an instant recharge to his system. It was then we realized just how vital these donations are to children battling cancer, they literally cannot fight cancer without transfusions.
Your one whole blood donation can save up to 4 children's lives. Platelets are the most valuable as they are rightly nick-named "liquid gold." Please consider making your donation today, the staff there is second to none, if getting poked with a needle scares you, tell it to a childhood cancer patient! As Quinn enters his second battle, for us it's even more personal. We thank you in advance, for our little warriors.
