Blood drive benefits local patients
As students give blood to the Red Cross at the top of the Hopkins Center Wednesday, they will be greeted by a six-foot drop of blood mascot waddling around. But they won't see people on the receiving end of Dartmouth's once-a-term blood drive, recipients like Lou Longo and Jennifer Kochman. Longo has used donations for almost a year to survive chemotherapy and Kochman requires monthly transfusions to manage her chronic blood disease.
