and give blood and plasma.

The life you save may be a fellow player's!
This is an international call to paintball players everywhere to donate blood and plasma. Hospital blood stores everywhere are dangerously low, and you will also be helping people like 15-year-old Jamie "Jester" McKinnon. This young lady, a member of the scenario playing Team Blitzkrieg, hails from Texas, and she has been fighting hard against lymphoma cancer. Jamie could use your help. Through out the US, blood may be donated in the name of Jamie McKinnon care of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. This donation will help to offset some of the hospital costs that have been accumulating in her treatment. In any case, you can send Jamie a card or letter at P.O Box 0936,Sugarland, Texas, USA 77487. A goal is at least one card or letter from every state in the U.S., and from every country that reads this. Virtual postcards can be sent to Jamie at Vallarrean@aol.com. Let her know the paintball community supports her and hopes to see her playing this great sport again soon. While you are at it, consider being tested for bone marrow matches. The results are cataloged by various organizations, and a match and transplant may save someone's life. |
