For April, donating platelets is more than just a good deed, it’s deeply personal.
“When my daughter Ryan (who’s now 17) was just 5, she had a very bad illness,” April shared. “Her platelet count dropped, and she needed platelets to live. They helped save her life. I’m so thankful.”
That experience lit a spark in April that has never gone out. Since then, she’s been inspired to give back. She’s donated an incredible 19 times and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon!
