Aspyn Carroll, daughter of Tom and Kerri Carroll, received 50 blood and platelet transfusions after being diagnosed with leukemia in 2017. She was diagnosed with leukemia and spent the next 10 months in active treatment. She is now cancer free although she is in the maintenance phase which will help keep the cancer away. From the time she was diagnosed, her parents encouraged everyone who could to make donations of blood. Those looking to start donating blood or continue to give the gift of life, the next clinic in Pembroke is taking place at the Germania Club on April 23, then in Petawawa at Dundonald Hall on May 14. To book an appointment, visit blood.ca or call 1-888-2 -DONATE (1-888-236-6283).
