They’re back! Meet father–daughter donor duo Mark and Saoirse — back at our Kingston Donor Center to save lives together. ❤️

Saoirse said, “It’s family time! It’s our father–daughter date. We go out to dinner after… and also, the snacks.”

At just 16, Jayden is already on his 5th platelet donation—following in his mom Katrina’s footsteps. A true donor, he was recently inspired to grow his hair out to make wigs for kids with cancer. From hair to platelets, Jayden proves generosity has no age limit. ❤️
