Thursday, 2Sep10, Tempe & Phoenix, AZ, United Blood Services
Today I was in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Tempe, AZ … visiting the incredible United Blood Services staff, headquarters, lab components staff, visiting with Tempe Police officers at the blood drive in the Tempe Police building downtown. I met an officer today (Scott) who is an inspiration to all of us … he is a survivor … and a recipient … he was shot 7 times by a bad guy and lived to talk about it … Scott you are one amazing man … thank you for making it back!
It was another amazing day of tours, visiting staff, police officers, donors, survivors and thanking the amazing UBS staff … they are doing an incredible job of gathering and taking care of the “gift of life”, platelets, plasma, RBC’s and other components needed by recipients on a daily basis.
Thank you Sue Thew … you are one amazing lady and it was an honor and a privilege to spend the day with you and your co-workers.
After visiting 4 different locations … I drove to Las Vegas and didn’t get there until 10 p.m. … talk to you tomorrow …
