🎉 A big congratulations to Alyson for reaching 200 platelet donations! 🎉
Platelet donations are especially vital for cancer patients. Chemotherapy can destroy platelets, which are crucial for clotting and stopping bleeding.
Plus, you can donate platelets as often as every 7 days, up to 24 times a year! Since platelets must be used within a week, we always need generous donors to help patients in need. 🩸

Last week, Vitalant Memphis and the Greater Memphis Sickle Cell Partnership commemorated Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Day at the National Civil Rights Museum during the Juneteenth celebration and community day.
The event raised awareness about sickle cell disease and how blood donation serves as a vital treatment method for patients battling the disease and other illnesses. As part of the NCRM’s focus on health equity, a blood drive was also held in conjunction with the Juneteenth celebration. Thank you to all the donors, volunteers, community partners, and sponsors who helped make this event a success. Because of you, life doesn't stop!
At just 3 years old, Delta was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Right after hearing this life-changing news, she was scheduled for her first surgery to get the port needed for her chemotherapy. But leukemia had taken over so quickly that Delta didn’t have enough red blood cells or platelets for the surgery and needed transfusions immediately.
Throughout her journey, Delta has needed regular transfusions to keep fighting this terrible disease alongside her chemotherapy treatments.
“Without blood and platelet donors, our daughter wouldn’t be here and wouldn’t be able to keep fighting this cancer,” her family shares.
While Delta is still in the fight, she shares a message for those who #GiveBlood : “Thank you for helping save my life and the lives of many children just like me!”
You can be the hope a family needs when their child is diagnosed with cancer. Schedule your next donation today using the link in our bio.
