Community Blood Drive for Mark on July 1st!

Together with Stanford, we have arranged an all-day community blood drive in Mark’s name at the Stanford Blood Center on 3373 Hillview Ave (off Page Mill Rd.) in Palo Alto. The date is Wed. July 1st and the hours are 12 noon to 7:30pm.

I will soon have a flier to send around, and I encourage folks to print out copies and post it anywhere suitable: your workplace, mom’s group, local community center, wherever. Invite anyone and everyone to show up. The blood bank is going into its ‘dry’ season and this will be really helpful to them. Mark has more surgery ahead of him, so we are really doing the best thing we can for him by turning out for this.

If this date does not work for you, just go ahead and go donate whenever you can. Anytime is a good time. You can always go to any one of the three Stanford Blood Centers. It all goes to the same cause!

This one-day effort is to help people plan, arrange rides, and mobilize as many folks as possible. Plus, the blood bank will be hosting a BBQ at the Hillview center that day as a thank-you to donors, so there’s something in it for you! (replenish those red blood cells, grrrrrrr!)

I will post the official flier when it is ready, but please put this date on your calendar: July 1st, 12 noon to 7:30 pm. Spread the word!!

The beginning...

On Wednesday, June 3rd, Mark Alexander suffered serious injuries in a car accident. He is at Stanford Hospital and is stabilized, but has had 6 operations so far and scheduled for more. He can't have any visitors at this time except family for 30 minutes a day. Please send your healing thoughts, love, and prayers to Mark so that he may recover quickly. Also you can donate blood at Stanford (any Type) as Mark has lost a lot.
There has been a huge outpouring of love and healing thoughts sent out to Mark, his mother Donna and father Tal. Information on ways you can help will be posted as Mark's long healing process moves along.
There is a "Mark Alexander Blood Drive" being set up through the Stanford Blood Center. More news and information will be posted here as it is made available.
