If you donate blood today through the Central California Blood Center, you’ll get a “buy one get one free” ticket to the Big Fresno Fair. You’ll also be helping out those who need blood. Eight-year old Jamie Parmer is a cancer survivor who credits his survival to blood donors, like his grandfather.
“My mom had this feeling that I had cancer, and then the doctor said that I did have leukemia,” stated Parmer. He battled leukemia for more than three years. Many times, Parmer needed blood, and blood was ready for him from the CCBC.
Parmer’s grandpa, George Beltran, helped Jamie when he needed it.
He said, “During the surgery, my grandpa, he had to donate some platelets to me because during the surgery, sometimes the people that are getting the surgery can bleed out.”
