Summary
July 13 is the date Lincoln Rodgers' family set for a Cleveland, Tennessee, blood drive honoring the boy's second year cancer-free and urging more donations.
Multiple transfusions and platelet treatments helped Lincoln through medulloblastoma, his mother said, as the family points to a national blood shortage as the reason for the event.
Lincoln, now almost 7, has been cancer-free for 2 years after an early-life battle with brain cancer that previously rallied community support around his family.
The drive extends that support into advocacy, with the family using Lincoln's recovery to highlight how donated blood can sustain children undergoing cancer treatment.
