Baby Ian -- 14 month old son of a close friend of Elkins' nurse Jennifer Longoria -- is currently going through multiple rounds of chemotherapy at Texas Children's Hospital for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The rounds of chemotherapy serve to "reboot" Ian's DNA -- something like "rebooting" a computer that has frozen or gone haywire. The "reboots" can result in dangerously low blood counts. Your donateblood may be used to help Ian or other cancer patients until their bone marrow begins to produce blood at full capacity. Students who have not already signed up will be accepted on a walk-in basis as space allows at the time. Thank you, Knights, for generously giving this precious gift of life.
