Hero of the Month


Eric | Deltona, FL
Like many teenagers Eric enjoys hanging out with his friends and swimming.  But, unlike most teenagers Eric knows what it’s like to be a survivor.  Doctors diagnosed Eric with leukemia at the age of six.  He spent weeks in the hospital and years getting treatment.
Eric has been cancer free for about eight years now.  Though he did not need blood or platelets while being treated for leukemia he saw a lot of other children that did need transfusions and that’s why Eric decided to become a blood donor.  Eric says he plans to donate blood regularly in the future and he has already saved six lives through his donations.
