A Rare-Blood Donor Saved Millions of Lives
Australia's most prolific blood and plasma donor, James Harrison, has died at age 88. Known as the "Man with the Golden Arm," Harrison is credited with saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century.
Harrison died in February of last year. Of course, many, many people played a critical role in all the good that he did (nurses, doctors, researchers, phlebotomists), but Harrison also did his part and showed up, time after time.
Is there a better illustration of what it takes to make such an impact? Whatever we do, we have to keep showing up.
