We just found out that Eric will need another surgery next week that will require a lot of blood from the blood bank. His blood type is A+. If you have a compatible blood type and are willing to make the trip to Santa Rosa, you are welcome to donate blood directly to Eric next week. Remember that you can only donate blood every 6 weeks, so if you are able and willing to donate at the Santa Rosa Memorial, please hold off until we have more information.

CenterBeam is also hosting a Blood Drive for Eric in San Jose. If you are in San Jose and can make this time, please register and join us this Friday. Here is the info:
