Doug welcomes Tom McCann and Dr. Tim Lepore to the show to discuss the upcoming second annual Nantucket Saves Blood Drive happening June 2nd and 3rd, and the urgent need for more donors to step up. The conversation highlights Nantucket Saves’ goal of adding 200 more appointments, the life-saving impact a single blood donation can have, and why community participation is so important. Dr. Lepore also clears up common misconceptions about blood donation, including the myth that a past Lyme disease diagnosis automatically prevents someone from giving blood. Tom explains how simple and quick the donation process really is, especially for first-time donors, while both guests encourage island residents to come together for a cause that directly helps save lives on Nantucket and beyond. Listeners can schedule an appointment now through the American Red Cross website by entering Nantucket’s zip code, 02554.
