Blood Without Borders
Mother and daughter visit Vermont from Canada to give the Gift of Life!
A Canadian mother and daughter team give new meaning to "Blood Without Borders." Ineligible to donate north of the border, they are making the 95 mile trip to Vermont to find a way to help patients in need.

STORY

The American Red Cross Blood Services has partnered with the Govenor's Highway Safety Program to get two very important messages out during the month of May - Give Blood and Buckle Up. Both actions can help to save lives - the first by doing something for others, the second by doing something for yourself. Please remember to wear your seat belt and make a point to give the Gift of Life - now, and throughout the busy summer season.

An Important Message From Governor Douglas
An important message about Vermont's blood supply from Governor Jim Douglas! Governor Jim Douglas and Red Cross CEO Susan Parmer discuss the the need for blood donors in Vermont at the State House in Montpelier.
