I have a friend who's sister's son is in desperate need of blood. Read below. If you know of anyone in that area that is wiling to donate, please let them know about this. Thanks so much
Hey All
We have a friend who's child has neuroblastoma - Joshua Johnson. He went this week to get blood and there is no blood. Georgia has a major shortage. Please help Joshua get the blood he needs! Tonight (Dec. 2nd) at Lovinggod Middle School off John Ward Road. From 6-9 this will go straight to Joshua. I know I don't like to give blood but how do you look at your healthy child & say no to someones sick child? Thanks!
I was not sure how to tell you what neuroblastoma is so this is what I pulled from google:
What is neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in nerve tissue of the adrenal gland, neck, chest, or spinal cord.
Neuroblastoma often begins in the nerve tissue of the adrenal glands. There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen. The adrenal glands produce important hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the way the body reacts to stress. Neuroblastoma may also begin in the chest, in nerve tissue near the spine in the neck, or in the spinal cord.
Neuroblastoma most often begins during early childhood, usually in children younger than 5 years. It sometimes forms before birth but is usually found later, when the tumor begins to grow and cause symptoms. In rare cases, neuroblastoma may be found before birth by fetal ultrasound.
By the time neuroblastoma is diagnosed, the cancer has usually metastasized (spread), most often to the lymph nodes, bones, bone marrow, liver, and skin

I could have stopped on my way home from work. I'm a "universal" donor. I used to give regularly at work blood drives, etc. But haven't been involved in years. If there's another one, or another place to donate in his honor, let me know.
