Greg and Jacob
Jacob was born 17 weeks premature and needed blood shortly after birth. Now he’s a healthy 3-year-old who loves to play with his grandfather, Greg. Greg feels a special bond with Jacob. “I’m happy to say my blood is running through his body today,” says Greg. He became a committed blood donor after his father was stricken with cancer in 2001. “My donation was not only a gift to Jacob, but a gift back to me.”
