Peter | Leesburg, FL

Peter began donating whole blood in 1984 because his bosses were blood donors.  Peter says he felt good after giving blood and continued giving whole blood for the next 12 years.  That’s when he began giving platelets via apheresis.  He continued to donate platelets every two weeks for the next 14 years and recently began a 75 gallon donor!  Peter says though he hasn’t met anyone who’s received blood or platelets he knows he is saving lives.
