Michelle Greer (a.k.a. @michellegreer on twitter) has been tirelessly organizing and promoting a blood drive tomorrow, July 3rd, in Austin, using her Austin Twitter network to get the word out.

One of the best ways in which she’s raised awareness is by identifying others (including her sister) whose lives have been saved by blood donations, and retweeting them to her network. Way to work it!

Just to give you an idea of how powerful stories are, I decided late today to suck it up and sign up to give blood tomorrow. You see, I can’t stand needles, so if I can suck it up and step it up, so can you!

More info here on how to participate. And feel free to send your personal stories to @michellegreer and/or leave them in the comments here.
