We want to make certain the blood is there for others when they need it, just like it was there for Louis. The person who gets the blood might be someone's mother or father, grandfather or grandmother or even their child. That person is important to somebody. Despite their loss, Chris and Peter still have a positive outlook. And for those who hesitate about donating blood for any reason whatsoever, Chris has a special message.
People are sometimes afraid to give blood and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Yes, this is in memory of our son, but it helps somebody else. Peter, Tracey, Deanna and I could never thank Louis' donors enough. Appointments are now being taken to give blood in memory of Louis Cipriano. Appointments can also be requested by e-mailing us. Copyright 2000, The American National Red Cross.
