400 Pints?? How About 500? 600?

GOAL MET!!!

I received the official news from BloodSource yesterday, Valentine's Day. Thanks to a blood drive at Hiram Johnson High School hosted for the Murphy 400 Fund by Principal Lynne Tafoya, 81 pints of blood were collected, bringing the fund balance over 400 pints. In fact, the fund today stands at 481 pints.

However, this news has only given me more reason to continue pushing for more blood donations by May 22nd. 500 pints is in sight -- perhaps 600 by May?

The Murphy 400 Fund will continue after my 40th birthday has come and gone -- in fact, thanks to the word that has spread to the community about the fund, more and more people unknown to me are donating towards my goal. According to the blood fund records, the number of cumulative blood donations given by donors to the Murphy 400 Fund exceeds 6,000 pints.

Thank you all to donors who donated to the Murphy 400 Fund since January 29th (Which includes a fantastic 76 first-time blood donors!)
