Hundreds Donating Blood To Honor Naperville Woman With 'A Pint For Kim'

CHICAGO (CBS)-- Hundreds of people are honoring a Naperville woman who lost her battle with cancer.

Family and friends of Kim Sandford held a blood drive Sunday in her honor and more than 300 people participated.

Sandford died this month from a rare form of cancer. During treatment, she underwent more than 40 blood transfusions.

That inspired her loved ones to launch a campaign called "A Pint For Kim" to help others who need life-saving blood.

The campaign hopes to get 100,000  blood donations by the end of the year.
