Why Your Donations Matter

For millions of Americans, platelets are essential to surviving and fighting cancer, and donations are needed every day. Every 15 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs platelets. That's why your donations are so important and appreciated.

This is Braylan.

When he was just 4 years old, Braylan entered treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He received a bone marrow transplant and required transfusions during treatment. 

His mom, Erika, said, "Without blood and platelet donations, he would not be with us today."

The best news? Braylan is currently in remission. Amazing donors like you help amazing kids like Braylan heal and thrive. Help patients kick cancer by making a platelet donation today.
