Marcos Perez is being honored after making 962 donations.
Marcos Perez has helped thousands of lives by donating his platelets every two weeks for the past 37 years.
This tremendous act of kindness was inspired by the very transfusion that saved his life when he was born prematurely.
He s been trying to pay it forward ever since. If someone was there for me, why can t I be there for someone else? Perez told Fox News.
That someone was his dad s coworker, Tony Aguilar. He was the only one who stepped up the plate to help him in the 1960s, Perez said. Back then there was no blood bank, he said. My dad had to go around and ask his family members, my aunts and uncles, cousins, friends to go donate blood and only one man stepped up to the plate.
