Windom School Eagle Projects are done with thought and consideration from students. The effects of these projects have a ripple effect that just make the community better. Senior Kaycee Hunter has chosen to host a Blood Drive for her achievement project. According to Hunter, she chose to do a blood drive because her cousin has factor 7 deficiency, which is a genetic bleeding disorder where your blood does not clot. Hunter went on to say, when her cousin was 10 years old, she spent time in the Mayo Hospital and needed blood transfusions. Finding out about this condition opened her family’s eyes to the need for blood donations. Hunter is planning on becoming a first-time donor at this blood drive and is hoping others in the community will follow suit. Hunter stated that she has learned through organizing this blood drive that blood is always needed for unexpected medical issues and accidents, and through donations you can save a person’s life. At some point in everyone’s life, you will know someone who will need a blood transfusion. With a goal of at least 30 people to show up to donate, Hunter is encouraging everyone in the community to consider donating on Thursday April 4th from 9am-2pm at the new/Blue Gym at the Windom High School, located at 1400 17th Street. The community is to enter through the west side doors, DOOR # 7. To pre-register for an appointment, you can call 800-733-2767 or visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter WindomMNHS . Be the difference and donate April 4th and help create the effect of the ripple…
