TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The Man Who’s Been Donating Blood For 37 Years Has Helped Save Thousands Of Lives

Most people have donated blood at some point in their lives, but nothing compares to the amount this guy has donated.

From Texas, his name is Marcos Perez and he has been donating blood every two weeks for 37 YEARS! Specifically blood “platelets,” which take longer but can help more people in need.

Marcos had a blood transfusion which saved his life as a baby.  So he started doing it this in 1984, as soon as he was old enough to donate.  And pretty soon, he’ll hit the ONE-THOUSAND donation mark.  The most recent time he went was his 962nd blood donation. So far he has helped just under 3,000 people. Unbelievable.
