Blood Drive

This was also my second time donating blood and I felt like this time it went way smoother and more wasn’t afraid. Also since I did it with my friends!

Every October, we recognize those who battled, have been diagnosed, and are still battling breast cancer. Throughout October, many foundations and charities, as well as individuals, focused on bringing awareness to receiving screenings to detect breast cancer and improving support for treatment, prevention, and research. Each year, more than 200,000 individuals are diagnosed in the US, and of those, about 43,000 will die from it. Though it is mostly diagnosed in women, 1 in 8 males can also be affected. Thus, it is important to get a screening whenever you can and show your support through the color pink and donations to help fight against this cancer Wear Pink!

Every November, we commemorate Diabetes Awareness Month, which provides a key platform for raising awareness of the widespread effects of diabetes around the world. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 463 million people worldwide have diabetes, and by 2045, that figure is predicted to increase to 700 million In order to effectively manage this chronic condition, the campaign highlights the significance of early detection, prevention, and education. The month-long initiative aims to raise awareness, encourage healthy lifestyles, and push for improved accessibility to care and services for anyone impacted by this progressively prevalent health issue Wear Blue!
