According to the Red Cross, 50 percent of blood donors are regulars.
But one Wyoming woman is not just a regular – she’s one of a kind.
Marty Robinson has donated 30 gallons of blood, one pint at a time. That’s 240 pints over 43 years.
“It’s not hard giving blood at all,” Robinson said. “I think it’s fantastic that I can do so little and help so many people.”
To commemorate the milestone, Robinson received a pin, but to her it was just another day.
Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. That comes out to just over 43,000 people a day.
“Fewer than 50 people in the state of Wyoming have achieved that accomplishment,” a United Blood Services representative said. “United Blood Services and the Wyoming community thank her for her commitment to giving blood.”
