(KFVS) - In honor of March being Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross is asking you to share your favorite Red Cross memory.

All month long, they will be looking for special, personal stories of hope. You can tell them what it was like to volunteer or why it's meaningful to you to give when disaster strikes.

The Red Cross says whether you’ve donated in the aftermath of a disaster, given blood, taken a class or received help in an emergency, everyone’s got a story to share – one that could inspire others to make a difference, too.

You can click here to submit your story online.

For more information, you can visit the American Red Cross online at www.redcross.org.

INA, IL (KFVS) - A Pinckneyville woman has been chosen as one of 50 students across the country to win an all-inclusive visit to the 2012 American Society of Radiologic Technologists ASRT Education Symposium in June.

Victoria Brown, 27, has one a free trip to Las Vegas. The event is part of the ASRT House of Delegates annual meeting. In August, Brown submitted an essay for the student development competition to win the free trip. Her essay was about what she hopes to learn at the symposium, an event geared toward medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals.

“I hope to learn about the advancements being made in radiology,” Brown said. “I’m excited about sharing what I learn with other students. And I’m excited to meet my future co-workers and leaders.”

Radiologic Technology Program Director Kim Robert said calling Brown “motivated” would be an understatement.
