After donating blood and platelets for a total of 13 years, Gary Justice plans on continuing his donating contributions.
“My next donation is this Saturday, January 2nd here at the Kentucky Blood Center. Something I do every 14 days,” he said.
Justice’s consideration for donating dates back to his childhood.
“Some lessons my mom and dad taught me and they taught me to always help others when you can, without expecting anything in return,” he said.
His parents, both dying from cancer, inspired him to help those in need.
“Sometimes they do have to do blood transfusions to help your body recover from the treatment that you’re receiving for the cancer. Without the donors, without the blood supply, those folks can’t receive the treatment they need,” he said.
There are different donation options to choose from.
