Beyond Dev

Donor at American Red Cross

I'm a committed supporter of the American Red Cross because I believe donating blood is a simple act that can save lives. Every 56 days, a quick 20-minute whole blood donation can make the difference for someone in critical need—it's easier than waiting in line for coffee. While I now focus on platelet donations, which take longer and aren't for everyone, I encourage anyone interested to talk to ARC staff and learn more. If you're looking to join a donor community, check out my ARC team: Asclepius.
