Celebrating a major donor
Dean Maki celebrates his 800th donation of blood with the U.P. Regional Blood Center. Dean started donating in 1978 to help his grandfather and continued donating to help save thousands of lives across the U.P. and touching the lives of so many more. “Thank you Dean for your dedication to helping save so many lives across the Upper Peninsula,” U.P. Regional Blood Center staff said in an announcement. “Words cannot describe how much we appreciate you. We always look forward to seeing you come through the door every 2 weeks! Thanks again, Dean.” (Photo courtesy of U.P. Regional Blood Center)
