Don't Let Hope Fade- The Passing of a Princess

    Today marked the passing of Carrie Fisher. It was really a sad and weird experience. Especially, since my wife and I had planned to go see Rogue One today and getting to see a CGI Princess Leia one last time was a little jarring. A Princess died today, but her death doesn't have to be in vain

    As Princess Leia, the fierce leader of the Rebel Alliance in multiple Star Wars ventures, Carrie Fisher was a hero to many. Carrying the Death Star plans to Yavin IV, the Princess was a source of inspiration and hope. 

    Well, now's our chance to be a hero and provide hope. 

   Hope- that's the last word of the movie Rogue One and it's spoken by the CGI version of Carrie Fisher circa 1977. Well, it inspired me to spread that message of hope to someone else in need. My choice was to donate blood at the nearest Red Cross.

   I challenge all friends of the Force to donate blood in Carrie's honor like I did to visit a Red Cross (or other blood donation center.) When you do, share the hash tag #givehopegiveblood. Take pictures, too! 

   Right now the Red Cross is suffering epic shortages. So, why not go out in droves folks to your nearest center and make give Princess Leia one last victory?

   Who knows- the next life you save might be your own!?
