LAKE CRYSTAL Minn. (KEYC) — A Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial senior is hosting her second blood drive this year, advocating for people to donate by sharing her personal story on how blood donors helped save her mother’s life.
In 2005, Emily Johnson’s mother, Leslie, was involved in a farming accident. Left with a shattered pelvis, severed artery, head trauma, and her right leg detached from her spine, Leslie received life-saving blood platelets while being airlifted to the hospital.
