Dec 30th 2016:   This was our 1st Spirit of Maine blood drive held at the Maine Mall.  We are going to try to build this drive into the largest drive in Maine!  I would like to thank The Maine Mall for the amazing site and Portland Marriott at Sable Oaks for being our corporate sponsor.  We were able to collect 96 units at this drive bringing our total give back units to 400!!

March 6th 2015:   I was able to talk with some juniors and seniors at Gray/New Gloucester HS about the importance of blood donation.  I shared my story and helped generate some energy heading into their blood drive on March 20th.  They ended up having their best blood drive yet, collecting 57 units!!   

Nov 11th 2014:  What an amazing turn out at the Westbrook Community center!  We were able to collect 32 units of blood!  Thank you Greg for allowing us into the center!  This drive helped us reach out first goal of giving back the 77 units that I needed!  

Aug 14th 2014:  5 of us went to Maine Medical Center to donate.  Special thanks to Cyndi for being a 1st time donor on this day!!

While in the hospital I needed 77 units of blood products in order to make it through my battle with sepsis.  Our mission was to give back those 77 units and than keep on paying it forward!! 

May 27th 2014: We had our first RaysUp blood drive at the Maine Wildlife Park and collected 44 units of blood on 66 appointments.

Paying It Forward with Blood Donations!!


The RaysUp campaign has been a part of giving back 400 TOTAL UNITS SO FAR!
