Drum Roll PLEASE!!!

The FINAL RESULTS are in and we are celebrating BIG!!!

Because of YOU, the Women of Wellness BloodLink Drive was a powerful success! Together, we made a life-saving impact:

50 pints of blood collected!
Donor Goal: 50
Actual Donors: 47
Result: 94% of goal met!

That means approximately 141 lives will be touched—patients with sickle cell disease, moms facing tough deliveries, cancer fighters, trauma survivors, and so many more.

WOW Sisters, your compassion is leaving a lasting legacy of hope and healing. Thank you for being the heartbeat behind this mission.

Special thanks to the American Red Cross for educating us on the power of giving! Deep gratitude to my Co-Leader Sharo’n Croombie, all our amazing Ambassadors, WOW Sister Lisa Stokes for sharing your heart, and our WOW Executive Director Dale Sharpe-Lee. Please know that your labor of love is seen, felt, and truly appreciated!

Let’s continue to show up, give back, and save lives!
We did it—TOGETHER!

Today was unforgettable at Gift of Life’s 28th Annual Donor Dash!
Over 15,000 strong, celebrating life, hope, and second chances.

I had the honor of networking on behalf of Teaching to Change Lives, Inc. and Jones Memorial Baptist Church, connecting with amazing donors, recipients, and wellness advocates. The conversations were so rich and full of purpose!

Having my WOW sister and her family there made it even more special — and to top it off, my grandson worked the table right beside me! Grateful for every connection, every story, and every life touched.

Life is a gift. Giving life is a legacy.

What started as a wonderful opportunity to lead the WOW BloodLink Drive quickly became something much deeper—a calling with purpose.

This journey has reminded me that this work isn’t just about numbers or logistics—it’s about lives. Real people. Families. Futures. And because of your YES, lives are being impacted in ways we may never fully see.

To those who have already donated—thank you. To those with upcoming appointments—please show up. Your donation could be the reason someone wakes up tomorrow with hope.

Every drop of blood donated truly saves a life.
Let’s finish strong, together.

I am grateful for each of you.
