James Harrison, known as the 'man with the golden arm', passed away at 88, leaving a legacy of humanitarian work. His plasma donations, beginning in 1954, contained a rare antibody, Anti-D, which prevented hemolytic disease in newborns. Over his lifetime, he donated plasma more than 1,100 times, saving an estimated 2.4 million babies. Harrison's family remember him not only for his contributions but also for his humor and love for family. His story is a testament to the power of selfless giving and its profound impact on countless lives.
"In his last years, he was immensely proud to become a great grandfather to two beautiful grandchildren, Trey and Addison. As an Anti-D recipient myself, he has left behind a family that may not have existed without his precious donations."
"James extended his arm to help others and babies he would never know a remarkable 1173 times and expected nothing in return."
