As a young adult, Lindsay was enjoying the life of a typical college student - attending classes, studying for exams and having fun with friends.  Her carefree lifestyle abruptly changed when a reaction to a medication caused permanent liver damage requiring a liver transplant.  A new organ and multiple transfusions of different blood components would be needed to save Lindsay’s life.

Thankfully, the generosity of an organ donor and the kindness of many volunteer blood donors gave Lindsay a second chance a life.  “Without having the blood available, I would not have survived the transplant operation.  Blood is needed every day and you just never know if you or someone you care about will need it.”
