Give Blood to the Murphy 400 Fund

Kathleen, Declan, Jack and I appeared this morning on Sacramento & Co., Channel 10's morning program as part of Channel 10's Blood Donor Day.

Kristin Simoes interviewed all of us on our story -- how Declan and Jack needed platelets and how we got them from an anonymous donor; the creation of the Murphy 400 Fund for my 40th birthday; the overall importance of being a blood donor. Declan proved himself to be the next great communicator -- he even speaks in sound bites! Kathleen talked about how you never think you'll need blood or blood products, but when you do, it underscores the importance of donating.

Our friend Dan Elliott greeted us at the station, and told us he spoke of the Murphy 400 Fund during the morning telecast. He invited me back later on this Fall to present an update on how well the Fund is doing.

I hope Channel 10 hits the goal of 2006 pints -- they were on track when we left, having already passed the 10% mark by 9:00 AM.
