Cameron

Cameron’s wife, Lauren, was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer in October 2016. Throughout her two-year battle, she went through countless chemotherapy sessions and relied on blood transfusions.
“The chemo treatment was saving her but in order to receive the chemo treatment, she needed the blood which was also saving her,” said Cameron. “I naively assumed blood donations always went to physical trauma victims – car accidents or losing, physically losing blood – and watching someone who was sick also needing blood was a realization that pretty much anyone in the hospital needs blood.”
In memory of Lauren, Cameron began hosting blood drives with The Community Blood Center. As a blood drive coordinator and blood donor, Cameron is able to help patients who are in need of blood transfusions, all while honoring Lauren and her passion for helping others.
