Courtney Gorman is a blood donor at Unyts’ Eastern Hills Mall Neighborhood Blood Donation Center. Seven years ago Courtney donated her kidney to her brother, and this opened her eyes to the importance of organ and blood donation. After donating her kidney to her brother, she wanted to do more for others! By donating blood she could potentially be helping a mother, father, son, daughter or maybe even a baby. Someone involved in a car accident or a person battling cancer could benefit from her blood donation.
Courtney feels that the best part about donating blood with Unyts is knowing that her blood is saving lives and helping others in need. She wants the community to know that it is a great way to give back, that you could be saving a family from losing a loved one, and that by donating blood you are saving up to three lives.
