Friday Spotlight in honor of National Blood Donor Month’s Platelet Week!

Like clockwork, every two weeks, twin brothers Seth and Aidan Keller stop by our Fort Mitchell Neighborhood Donor Center to donate platelets. They’ve been giving blood since they were 16—continuing a family legacy started by their father and grandfather.

“It’s been generation after generation—when you turn 16, you start donating blood,” says Seth.
