Richard Martin, a Northern Virginia resident, recently reached a staggering milestone: 700 platelet donations at the Inova Blood Donor Service Center. His lifelong commitment—to channel the generosity inspired by his father’s blood donations—has turned into a powerful mission: to encourage others in our community to contribute and make a difference. Sharing his passion and dedication, Richard hopes his achievement will inspire more volunteers to step up and help patients in need.
