Blood Drive for Carol's Daughter, Toni Carmichael April 1, 2009

After suffering from migraines and related
symptoms, Toni Carmichael, 36, was diagnosed
with Glomerulonephritis Perinuclear
Anti-Neutrophil Antibody, a rare disease that
resulted in kidney failure. She has been placed on
kidney dialysis and is currently receiving treatment,
including transfusions of red blood cells and
platelets, at St. Clair Hospital and UPMC Mercy.
Toni is the daughter of Carol and Mark Carmichael.
Her mother Carol is pictured above in front of the
family-owned Carol’s Restaurant in the West End.
Toni and her husband, Dennis, have three children,
Tanner, 16, Dalton, 12, and Cheyenne, 10.
The Carmichael family sponsor many fundraising
events at their restaurant and find it difficult to
accept help from others. Carol said, “My daughter
does need blood, so I guess it’s time for us to let
everybody help us.” This special blood drive is
scheduled to help replenish the community blood
supply from which Toni is using. The drive is being
held on a Wednesday because Carol’s Restaurant
is open until 8 p.m. for what they call “Family
Night.”
Central Blood Bank is the not-for-profit organization
that supplies blood to more than 40 hospitals in
western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and
eastern Ohio.
Please donate blood in Toni’s honor!
