We had another blood drive in honor of Mia. It was so neat to see her walking around saying thank you to everyone who donates. She really knows how important it is for her to live just by people taking the time out of their busy lives to come and donate blood. Thanks to everyone!
Here's the first group of people waiting to donate blood.
Mary Lisa & her husband Tim are always so supportive of our family.
A few of my Boot Camp pals Carol, Alyssa & Ginger. Carol did the relay for life the night prior, so the lady from UBS told her she probably should not donate for her safety because she would have been too dehydrated. Next time Carol! At least we got to see her and say hi.
Ginger did some recruting for me and her friend Brianne came out to donate, thanks Brianne!
Troy donates blood for Mia, he even goes into the UBS Center and donates. How sweet of him. Miss Madison really likes 'Mr. Troy.'
Remy, Ginger, & I...aww, boot camp girls.
Mia was SO happy her friend Ava came to see her. Mia said that was her favorite part, having friends and other kids stop by.
Friends who walk with you through the 'no matter what happens in your life' situations are the BEST! Thanks Miss Ava for being such a good friend to Mia.
Posing in the fountian... (lol)
Alyssa, Mia & Ava...
Some of my boot camp pals - Erin & I, Alyssa, Remy & Melinda. Thanks girls for coming out to Mia's blood drive! Showing the BC love.
Miss Kim, aka 'Dylan's mom' came to donate for the 2nd time but they were running so behind she couldn't donate. SO sorry Kim!! We're going to fix that for next time.
My small group girls, Alison & Karen ~ love them!
Susan, who always shows up to donate for Miss Mia, is my latest boot camp victim. Thanks Susan...for always showing us your support for Mia.
It was Erin's first time donating blood...yay EB!! Mia loves first timers.
So apparantly I can't talk and donate blood at the same time. Every time I was chattering away my blood would almost stop, so the workers kept telling me to move my feet up and down...(like boot camp!) to get it flowing again. We didn't want it to clot otherwise they couldn't have used it.
Karen beat me... :) But I beat Brad! ;)
Thank you Karen for always being so patient & waiting (lol) You are so amazing to our family, you have always been there for us...since Ashley & Tatum were in 1st grade! You knew Mia when she probably wasn't even 1 year old, and look at her now. Thank you for all your support.
Thank you to the Cooke Family!!! ~ Brad did not like the thought of needles, but he did it and he didn't even make a sound. Whoo-hoo!
We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to the crew who worked this blood drive, they did amazing. We love how Miss Kim has been to every one of Mia's blood drives so far, she rocks!
Thank you to everyone who takes the time out of their busy lives to donate blood. It's a free gift that gets you nothing in return. I can't think of a better gift to give than saving someone's life.
