We'll call him Russell Smith even though it's not his real name. I met him on Sunday in Chicago while we were both attending the Dream Manager certification program. When Russell heard that I was looking for a Type O blood hero he stepped to the forefront. There we were in a conference room together when Russell's blood donor card came sliding across the table. Whenever I find myself in a group of people I like to share Patricia's story and let people know that they can help. Sunday was the first time that someone responded. Russell told me that type O blood is fairly common and I told him that type O heroes are uncommon. Russell responded to a request because someone asked and he is programmed as a servant. He wasn't even sure to what service he was enlisting. This story isn't about a need for a kidney. This story isn't about a donor in the waiting. This story isn't about whether Russell and Patricia match as donor and recipient. This story is about the need to always be sharing your passion because the type of hero you search for could be standing next to you. So, if you don't know all the details about Patricia's fight for a traditional life, read the first entry in this blog. More importantly, if you find yourself in a crowd ask them if there is a type O hero amongst them. Maybe you are the type of hero that will save a life.
