A few years ago Jenni Alpert, who was adopted at age four, reunited with her biological family. She discovered that her cousin had red blood cell aplasia and was surviving from weekly blood transfusions. After losing her adopted father to cancer at a young age and watching him struggle with the need for blood, Jenni spent the next few years helping her cousin through some of his hardest days. During that period she learned a lot about the value of donating blood and bone marrow. A few years later Jenni hooked up with Music Saves Lives who created a program of running blood drives and giving music away as perks to people to help raise awareness and encourage blood donations. With the Blood Driven Tour, Jenni will assist Music Saves Lives in spreading their message through music and song, helping folks feel more at ease while they are donating their blood with a little entertainment.
