Huron County for 10 years of
her 12 -year career.

raise awareness of the need for
bone marrow and stem cell

ing cancer in the county. Under

drive resulted in approximately
20 new donors joining the
OneMatch registry, and many
more people choosing to
donate blood at the event.

applauded for her selfless
efforts to improve the quality of
life of those in need in Huron
County.
