This Thanksgiving, the American Red Cross thanks those who so generously give of themselves by rolling up a sleeve to help save lives. “It’s a very easy thing to do to help someone, to save lives. It’s important to have the blood on hand when it’s needed,” said Mike Snyder, who recently donated his 20th gallon of blood with the Red Cross.
