Eleanor's Story
When she was just 15 years old, Eleanor Hahn experienced sudden, inexplicable pain in her upper left arm and received startling news that would turn her family�s life upside down: Eleanor had bone cancer. During the next eight months, Eleanor underwent an eight-hour surgery on her arm, followed by chemotherapy treatments and blood transfusions to keep her strong. As a result, Eleanor�s mom, Lisa, became an ardent advocate of the importance of blood donation. Today Eleanor�s mom donates platelets, holds blood drives at her church for other patients like Eleanor and, as a member of Community Blood Services� Board of Trustees, spreads the word about how being a blood donor can make a difference in someone�s life. And Eleanor has been cancer free for five years and is beginning her senior year in college!
