What happened to this father of two could happen to any one of us. Ken was on his way to a neighborhood hockey game when he suddenly collapsed. Three days later, he underwent open heart surgery. The blood products Ken needed to make a full and speedy recovery were available at a moment’s notice, thanks to the generosity and kindness of strangers.

“The truth is…someone else’s blood had a big part in saving my life.”

Red Cross blood donors help patients just like Ken in cities and towns throughout New England and across the United States. Please….give blood. Together, we can save a life.
