"I'm Not a Hero... I Donate Blood Because I Can"
When asked why Robert G. of Dover, Delaware has been a loyal LifeSaver donor over the years, the answer was simple. "Because I can," he said.
Robert has grown up with living proof of the importance of blood donations. His identical twin brother was a "blue baby" at birth, meaning he was born with a congenital heart defect that caused an inadequate oxygenation of his blood.

"His blood was toxic and he needed blood transfusions to survive," Robert said. "I'm not a hero. I donate blood because I know it is needed and I want to help other patients with my rare blood type. I've donated about 5 gallons of blood and I don't plan on stopping any time soon."
Robert may not think he's a hero, but the patients on Delmarva would probably disagree.
