Katie and I went out today and gave blood at our local Red Cross blood donation center in Atlanta. We feel that this is an important cause that impacts and helps thousands every year. When I realized it is going to be September 11 tommorrow, I was taken back 6 years ago. Just after that tragic day I decided I wanted to help in any way I could. So I went to an emergency donation center in Marietta. I was in line at a reformed medical tech school and met a lot of people there with vibrant personalities. They were all there for a common cause, to do thier part in the wake of an atrocious tragedy. Today the need of the Red Cross has not changed. They are still in need of plenty of blood and platelets. So in honor of 9/11, we encourage you to go out there and give.

I have passed out serveral time giving blood and let me tell you it is not fun.
: ) No kidding! I was a mess! I was closer to fainting BEFORE I gave blood than when I actually did. I used to give a lot, and had trouble with not handling it well. Luckily, this time it was flawless. I never felt bad at all ONCE the needle was in. : )
Poor Stick passed out from just looking at this post – LOL!!
So great of you guys! We are so inspired by both of you in so many awesome ways.
See you soon=)
