A very special longtime blood donor is encouraging others to donate if they can.
Craig Lynch has been blind since birth, but that hasn’t stopped him from sharing his lifeline with others.
“Blind since birth. I’m 71, so it’s the new 40,” he said.
You may recognize Lynch’s voice as he is a longtime Cubs Radio reporter.
“We all are looking for some way to contribute,” Lynch said. “God laid on my heart to just not be a baby and just give blood. And then when I started doing it I said I realized how easy it was and how really it’s not that much of an effort. And so I started becoming fairly consistent at it.”
Being born visually impaired has not let that stop him from doing things he’s passionate about.
“If I was gonna pick a disability, blindness would be the one I’d pick up,” he said. “It’s not that, I mean, there are challenges in their frustrations. I’m not gonna say they’re not, but I mean, it’s when you’ve lived 71 [years], you know, you learn to adapt.”
