American Red Cross volunteer Gerry Holmes believes donating blood is something significant he can do to help save lives.
Gerry first donated blood on his college campus when he was 18 years old. He had a good feeling knowing his blood helped someone in need back then, and still does today.
Since his college days, Gerry continues to roll up his sleeve three times a year at blood drives in the Greater Chicago Region. He has given blood 63 times over his lifetime, earning a 7 gallon pin in July 2014.
Congrats Gerry and thanksyou for helping save lives!
