 web posted November 22, 2007 JOHNSTON – Strom Thurmond students are preparing to host a blood drive for one of their own next month. Shawn Patton, 19, who was critically injured in a horrific crash on August 26, is still recovering from his injuries at MCG where he was kept in a drug-inducted coma for nearly two months. Shawn has made tremendous strides in his recovery recently and his recovery was made possible by blood donors. To help Shawn, and the countless others that depend on the gift of blood, the Shepeard Community Blood Center and Health Occupations Class will have a blood drive at STH on December 14 from 8 am until 3 pm. Blood donations reach a critical level during the holiday months and to help offset that urgent need students and adults can help by stopping by and donating. The Shepeard Blood Center said a person needs blood every two seconds and that only 5% of all eligible donors give blood. Studies have also shown that donating blood just three times a year can reduce blood pressure, reduce the chance of heart attack by 50%, and lowers the chance of developing colon, lung, bladder, and esophageal cancers by 40%. Each donation of blood will give the gift of life to three people so mark your calendars now and roll up your sleeve to help Shawn and the countless others who need your support. ©
