Blood Drive Honors Abington 7-Year-Old Who Nearly Drowned

A blood drive will be held Friday in Warminster for an Abington girl who suffered a brain injury following a fall.

Ally Turner, 7, was found unresponsive underwater in her bath after she slipped and fell in December, her family said.

Her parents gave her CPR and she miraculously survived. However, she spent several months receiving medical care and undergoing rehabilitation at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, during which she required numerous blood transfusions, The Intelligencer reported.

A Red Cross blood drive is planned in her honor this Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Bucks County Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 10 Greene Road in Warminster. She will be at the blood drive around 5 p.m., the report said.
