Kylee Grabill, 20, (in the purple) was diagnosed in fall 2008 with anaplastic large
cell lymphoma. As a very important part of her treatment at West
Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, she has been receiving transfusions of
red blood cells and platelets.
A graduate of Central High School and Pruonto's Hair Design Institute,
Kylee has been working at Holiday Hair. She and her fiancé,
Zack Sowel, are planning their May wedding. Kylee is the daughter
of Tonia and Steve, and the sister of Jalynne and Steve. Her
father, Steve, is well-known in the community for his quality work at
Steve Grabill & Son Construction Company. Tonia is the Proud owner and works at Caterpillar Clubhouse Day Care. The family are very active members of
Faith Assembly of God Church in Roaring Spring. This special
blood drive is being held at the Church Youth Center in town.
Kylee’s friends and family encourage the community to donate
blood in her honor, in support of her journey back to health and to
replenish the blood supply from which Kylee, and other patients
like her, are using.
Central Blood Bank is the not-for-profit organization that supplies
the blood and blood products to more than 40 hospitals in western
Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio.
