An Omani man who lost his brother in a car accident has devoted the last three decades to donating blood.

Ahmed Al Kharusi began donating blood April 16, 1986 when he was 22 years old. For the last 32 years, he has donated blood 137 times, providing the equivalent amount of blood of 12 adult males.

“This is such an important day for me, it marks 32 years of volunteering,” Al Kharusi said. “Donating to me means giving life. We are humans and we have to take care of each other,” he added. The 54-year-old has seen, first-hand, the impact of blood donations. In 1983 he was in a car accident that took his brother’s life and badly injured him.
