Sergeant Dic Donohue was shot in the femoral artery while pursuing the Boston Marathon bombing suspects in Watertown, MA. He bled out on scene, having lost nearly 90 percent of the blood in his body. Now retired, Dic is an active ambassador and board member for the American Red Cross. 

We are proud to honor Colleen Kelly Alexander for her commitment to raising awareness of the need for blood donations. As a blood donor turned blood recipient, Colleen uses her story of triumph over tragedy to encourage others to donate blood.
