We are truly humbled at the number of people who came out yesterday to give blood at our local Red Cross. \u00a0To see not only our Asheville wedding industry come out and support, but as well as the community as a whole. \u00a0I learned so much about the process of giving blood, and what a demand it really is in. \u00a0Did you know that by donating, you can save 3 lives? \u00a0And that once you have donated, the blood is good for 42 days?<\/p>\n

By sponsoring a Donor Day at our local chapter, and driving for donors – we helped save 72 lives<\/strong>! \u00a0And we were so proud that one of the phlebotomists {the sweet people who draw the blood} said that she had 5 donors in a row that were 1st time donors…and all of them came on behalf of StudioWed. \u00a0Wow! \u00a0Thank you to our wedding industry, and to our community for supporting this great, great cause.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the brave, brave souls! \u00a0Many thanks to my hubs, Ian, for giving blood {almost passing out after a 4 minute blood draw, which is extremely quick. too quick!} and then stay to help cheer people on, and take these pics! \u00a0And thank you to The Doubletree {Kathy and Lauren came out and represented!} for bringing the famous Doubletree cookies!<\/p>\n

Thanks again to everyone! \u00a0And please, if you can, give blood. \u00a0Not just on a day that someone is sponsoring a donor day, but anytime that you can. \u00a0It really does save lives!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
