Growing up, Miranda vividly remembers her father's desire to donate blood, however, leukemia survivors are currently unable to donate blood. Miranda's father's unfulfilled aspiration to give back to society left a mark on her.
The spark of inspiration finally ignited when Miranda was 18, during her senior year at high school. The opportunity to participate in a blood drive prompted her to start donating blood at Hoxworth Blood Center regularly. Despite a few years passing by before her next donation in her late twenties, the idea of making a difference in someone's life through this simple act of kindness remained close to her heart.
For Miranda, blood donation is a personal reward in itself. She takes immense satisfaction in knowing that she is making a meaningful contribution to the well-being of others. It's her way of following in her father's footsteps and embodying the spirit of selflessness he instilled in her.
Miranda's O Positive blood donations are a lifeline for many in need. Her dedication means the difference between life and death for those requiring blood products. Her commitment has not only saved the lives of local patients but also brought her husband into the fold, making them a dynamic duo of regular Hoxworth blood donors.
When asked what message she'd like to convey to others contemplating regular blood donation, Miranda's advice is simple yet powerful: "Just do it. If you are capable, don't let anything hold you back. It feels good, and you can save lives.”
“Also, eat snacks until you donate," she adds.
