I owe my life to blood donors. I'm forever grateful to people who donate.

I think God's really blessed me with patience. I'm good with a lot of things going on at once.

I always hated my mole growing up. I even thought about having it removed. At the time I didn't do it because I thought it would hurt, and now I'm glad I didn't.

My goal is to spread the word about the need for more blood donors.

I owe my life to blood donors. They went out, rolled up a sleeve and gave me another chance at life.

Stick to the basics, hold on to your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion.

I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life, and I'm the one who was on the other end.
