For Clayton Grubbs, blood donation is more than just an act of kindness: it's a way of life. Having donated over 170 times, Clayton's dedication to saving lives has only grown stronger over the years. What began as a high school opportunity to skip class evolved into a lifelong passion that's left an indelible mark on his community.
Recently, Clayton took his commitment a step further... by getting a tattoo. Red, white and blue hands clasped in the shape of a blood drop, Clayton suspects it will be quite a conversation starter.
"I can tell them, 'I'm an avid blood donor,'" Clayton said, imagining what he might say when asked about his new ink. "Maybe I can even talk them into changing their mind about blood donations."
