#Repost @askblooddrive : To Honor Those That Are Here and Loved & To Remeber The Children & Friends We've Lost. Click The BiO To Pre-Register For Feb 17th Donations. I want us all to go to @ChildrensLA / CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL of Los Angeles & donate blood and/or platelets. And with it also being the 2nd leg of #BlackHistoryMonth2018 , I wanna make history, play some Videogames, give out some swag and donate the most ethnically diverse blood in a 5+ hour period... I believe with all of our followers, family, sorority, social media presence, fraternity, church membership or the ppl at work... we, as a crew, can change KIDS lives. Open your heart, #RT & #Share this til ya thumbs ache and bring ya smiles, kindness and an UNWRAPPED toy so I can make this ANNUAL event EPIC this year. Let Us All Give The Gifts of Hope and Life to our children so that We can truly live in Peace & Harmony! Please contact my buddy George Meridia inside the Blood/Platelets donor center at CHLA 323.361.2441 for detailed info like: what do you need to prep or what mess not to take/eat prior to coming. A lil back-story: I 1st got involved with donating at CHLA because of my friends at PCB Productions telling me about a lil boy named Nicolas that had #Cancer and had been in the hospital for almost a calendar year and was needing blood transfusions and platelets. I wasn't his EXACT type, but me giving platelets was made on his "behalf". I gave one day and I took the boy a gift, I believe a kids book, and met him and his mother in the kids ICU. He was in good spirits but weak ;( A lil over a year later, I saw the same boy (my wife actually did) and his parents. He was energetic and having kid fun. The medical process had worked, plus a lot of prayer. I then felt obligated, called, required to help when & where I could. AND my own son had a major femur bone break on New Years Day 2011. The ENTIRE medical staff put me and my family at ease (I felt so powerless) and performed a non-surgical procedure that has my son running, doing gymnastics and Kempo today ;) #WeRememberYouRaul #WeRemeberYouLily #TheAskTanInitiative #1PintCanSave3Lives #askCHLA
