He saved the lives of more than two million children … the death of the blood donor

James Harrison, a abundant blood donation, died, known for his rescue of the lives of more than two million children, at the age of 88.

Harrison, whose blood plasma had a “rare and precious antibody” known as (Anti-D), donated more than 1100 times, according to the Australian Red Cross, who confirmed his death in a statement published on Saturday.

Harrison, who was known as the “gold -arm man”, died during his sleep at a home to take care of the elderly, northern Sydney, on the 17th of February, according to the statement.

Harrison’s altruism’s motive was to receive many blood transfusions after undergoing lung surgery when he was 14 years old.

He began donating the plasma at the age of 18 and continued to donate the plasma every two weeks until it was 81 years old, which is the upper limit for the age of blood donation in Australia.

The CEO of the Red Cross, Stephen Cornellicin, praised Harrison’s dedication.

“James was a great, gentle and generous person and committed to giving throughout his life, and took over the hearts of many around the world,” Cornellicen said in the statement.

He added: “James replied his arm to help others and children who never knew 1173 times and did not expect anything in return.”

Harrison’s daughter, Trissy Miluship, said her father was “a person in his heart.”

She added in the statement: “As a recipient of Anti-D, he left behind a family that may not have existed had it not been for his precious donations.”

His daughter added: “He was very proud that he saved many lives, without any cost or pain. He was pleased to hear about many families like our family, which were present thanks to his generosity. ” (CNN)
