Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, a community! No one fights alone! Thank you to the ABS platelet donors who give HOPE!

We are honored to be part of the community rallying around retired Henry County Fire Rescue Lt. Kevin Gilham as he faces leukemia.

After 31 years of serving others, Kevin now needs the support of his community. His family, fellow firefighters and friends are helping spread the word about the need for platelet donors throughout his treatment.

FOX 5 Atlanta recently shared Kevin’s story and the incredible response from his fire family. ❤️

Platelets have a shelf life of just five days, which means patients like Kevin depend on donors continually stepping forward.

Please watch and share Kevin’s story. If you are eligible to donate platelets, we would be honored to have you join .
