Some couples go out for brunch on their day off. Christopher and Kristina decided to save lives. Christopher is a regular, donating every 8 weeks. This morning, he asked his wife if she wanted to come too. She said yes, and just like that, they had themselves a donation date.❤️

Every performance starts with one thing: showing up. For Dylan, blood donation is no different. He started at 16. Now, 114 donations later, he’s still showing up — giving whole blood, donating platelets and doing one small thing that can make a difference for someone.
