How will you receive this critically important ask from immensely trusted leaders in our society participating in the "sirens for life challenge" (your country may have a slightly different version)? This particular version is for Ottawa but it is important everywhere. Insert your own city. This ask is always important but why is this perhaps a bit more special, now? Three things: 1) For the northern hemisphere, now is a time of holidays with many very important distractions and not much time to donate (perhaps?). 2) Ironically, these distractions, increased travel and increased extracurricular activity can create increased need with more accidents needing medical attention. 3) This ask is coming from the first responders who witness first hand the trauma and injury that need donations to heal the injured and save lives. If you're able to carve out about an hour of time, please register and donate to save a life. There's an absolutely outstanding team that will assist you through the process.
