Meet Brad — one of our incredibly dedicated platelet donors. 💛

Donors like Brad are essential to helping us meet the daily platelet needs of 12 hospitals across the Upper Peninsula. Right now, every single day is a challenge to maintain the supply needed for patients facing cancer treatments, trauma, surgeries and other serious medical conditions.

Platelet donation takes a special kind of person. While a donation can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1½ hours, the impact can be lifesaving.

Recently, we’ve lost many of our regular platelet donors due to illness, aging and other unforeseen circumstances, which means the need for new donors has never been greater.

Brad’s commitment is making a difference, and we hope his milestone inspires others to consider giving the gift of time and hope through platelet donation.

Some heroes don’t wear capes—they roll up their sleeves—like Dana Langsford. ❤️

It’s hard to even comprehend how many lives have been touched, supported and saved through that level of generosity. He leads by example every single day, always ready to step up, lend a hand and make a difference in our community.

Dana, your compassion and commitment inspire all of us. We are so grateful for everything you do.
