Like many kids his age, Will Brown looked forward to getting
his driver’s license as soon as he reached his sixteenth birthday. That
milestone has been delayed for a time, as the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles
has announced there will be no more driver’s tests (for regular licenses, at
least) until “an unknown date.” But Will is clearly not the kind of guy who
lets little setbacks get him down. He looked for something he could do
to celebrate turning sixteen. When he discovered that sixteen-year-olds can
donate blood (with their parents’ permission), he scheduled an appointment.
Then he talked every one of his eligible family members into doing the same. Eighty
percent of the local blood supply comes from blood drives, and those have all
but dried up – like new driver’s licenses – as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
If you’re not feeling unwell, you really should consider giving blood.
