Each blood donation can save up to three lives. For @NebraskaBiz's Kendra Ritchie, it took three blood transfusions following the birth of her daughter to save hers.
You can help. Find a place to give blood and log your donation at bigten.org/abbott.

ALT A quote from Kendra Ritchie, director of recruitment in the College of Business: I am forever indebted to the people I will never meet — the individuals who donated blood to save my life. Because of their decision to give blood, I'm alive today. Because of them, I got to go home and raise my baby; and because of them, I recently had the privilege of watching my daughter turn 6.
