Donate blood - TODAY (Nov. 11)

Donating blood is a great way to help another person at no cost to you and with very little of your time. A blood drive will be held today, November 11, for R.B. McCallister, a Woodstock resident who is battling a neurological disorder.

The blood drive will be from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Pirro’s Restaurante, 228 Main St., Woodstock. Donors should take a photo ID and should eat well and stay hydrated all day.

According to an article in this morning's paper, McCallister is currently in a long-term acute care facility. RB is suffering an inflammation of the spinal cord called acute transverse myelitis. A local Realtor and pottery artist, he became ill about three months ago.

To schedule an appointment, call Christina at LifeSource, 312-279-2958 or visit www.lifesource.org/
