(NECN: Latoyia, Edwards, Dedham, Mass.) - Everyone can help save lives just by rolling up their sleeve. NECN and the American Red Cross are teaming up once again this year the New England wide "Celebrate the Gift of Life Blood Drive".
NECN's Latoyia Edwards spoke with Jeff Jarvis, who is donating platelets. Platelets are very important because they clot the blood, and are used especially in accident victims, and cancer patients. Jarvis says it is a very comfortable experience, and it lasts about two hours.
