The American Red Cross invites you to donate blood in honor of Karly Rathbun and Shayla Schielein, two local girls who met each other while both undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Now 12 years old, Karly and Shayla are best friends and advocates for blood donation, as both required blood products during their cancer treatments.
