September is Childhood Awareness Month, which STBT officials said is a reminder that blood donations are always needed for patients living with cancer.
“Cancer patients in the San Antonio area use approximately 30% of all donated blood,” the release said.
Mike Gallegos, 16, who attended Stevens High School, battled cancer for 10 months until he died in July.
“Mike relied on multiple blood and platelet transfusions during his treatment. Donating blood helps others cancer patients like Mike live their best life,” the release stated.
“My son, being a kind and caring person, would want us to assist as many other families as possible who are going through the same journey we experienced,” Mike’s mother, Monica, said. “Strong Like Mike.”
