well once again we are being blessed with another opportunity to educate the public. WCCO is kinda one of the main stations here in MN and they heard about us and us having a Blood/Bone marrow and Organ Drive next weekend and are coming in the a.m. to interview us and why It's so important to "pay it forward". Don't worry IHD will be mentioned although from our last interview they sure do cut out all the good stuff. My nails and Hair look terrible so I'm thinking about wearing gloves and a paper bag hehehehe.
