Spirit Of Giving: Donating Blood Is Randy Riddle's Thanksgiving Tradition

DENVER (CBS4) -- In the spirit of giving, Vitalant centers were open on Thanksgiving for blood donations. We stopped by and met Randy Riddle, who is a regular donor -- and always gives on Thanksgiving Day.

"I started donating blood, whole blood. After 9/11. It's something you can do - you're helping out, but it doesn't cost anything. It takes a little bit of your time, that's it. More people should do it," Riddle said.

During the snowstorm, Vitalant missed out on hundreds of blood donations -- so the need is great right now.
