the sullivan blood drive

As my blog stalkers followers have read, there was a blood drive last week honoring Rob Sullivan, a great husband, father, friend and all around great guy from town. He was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and some of his friends put together the blood drive with buffet afterwards in his honor. They had something like 283 people show up to donate blood, 20 of which ended up being turned away because they just had too much! How awesome is that?! This is one of those times that I think our town is just a wonderful place to live- where friends and neighbors come together to help eachother when it’s needed. It’s a great thing to see and it really warms my heart.

Since I can’t give blood, I did what I do…take pictures. Here are a few from the buffet after the drive, where all donors were invited to come have a beer and some dinner on the sponsors of the event.

The man of the hour. Doesn’t he look great? And he and his wife are just SO cute together.

Everyone had lots of fun.

And an extra shout out to Nelson and my sister in law Inez who donated blood for Rob too!

If you’d like to see all of the pictures from the evening, you can find them all here.
