SALT LAKE CITY — “I was just so floored, I couldn’t breathe, I was pacing, I was so excited. You had to shake it off? I did (laughs)…yes I did, yeah… literally!”
That is ARUP blood donor Donna Mills talking about getting the news that she won the grand prize, two tickets to see Taylor Swift in New Orleans.
Out of 27,000 donors over the past year, there may not be a more perfect winner than Donna Mills. She’s a senior at the University of Utah, a huge Swiftie and a long time blood donor…. no Bad Blood in this story.
What makes all of this extra special…Donna is going with her inspiration for donation; her mom. She says mom had a health issue years ago that required blood transfusions.
They share the same blood type and Donna immediately signed up to donate…but she was only 14 at the time …
