Fourteen years ago, Mary Ruppert’s daughter, Amy, and her grandson, Matthew, passed away. The cause was undetermined. Amy was a registered donor, so in her daughter’s memory, Mary donates blood.
Mary believes that the best part about donating blood is being able to help save lives. She also wants people to know that donating blood is so easy. “It only takes about 10 minutes to donate blood and there is no pain involved. The staff at Southgate are wonderful,” says Mary, “People might also like to try donating platelets. It's a longer procedure, but platelets help so many people who have had transplants.”
We want to thank Mary for being a regular blood donor and for choosing to donate with Unyts. All blood donations go to local patients at local hospitals.
