Join the Charge: A Warrior’s Call to Action

Adam Ralston is in his 12th year as a Tech Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. In September 2023, he was diagnosed with adult lymphoblastic leukemia. Adam is receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatments at Moffitt Cancer Center and received a stem cell transplant from his sister Melissa in March. Throughout Adam’s treatment, he has received more than 50 units of whole blood and platelets.

This blood drive recognizes all the donors who have taken the time to save a life, acknowledge the dedication and care of Adam’s doctors and nurses at Moffitt Cancer Center and thank his Air Force family for the support and encouragement they have provided.

The community is invited to honor Adam and help patients like him who rely on blood donors for the lifesaving treatment they need. Donating saves lives. Please give blood. All blood donors will receive a $20 e-gift card and t-shirt (while supplies last). Platelet and double red donors will receive an additional $20 e-gift card.
