SUMMARY:Gift of Life Mini Marathon Dedicated to Pete Giancola
DESCRIPTION:Gift-of-Life Mini Marathon Dedicated to Pete Giancola\n\nFamily Encourages Blood Donations in Rutland Man's Memory\n\nThe family of Pete Giancola\, a well-known local musician\, is urging the greater-Rutland community to donate blood in his memory at the 2020 Gift-of-Life Mini Marathon (GOLM) Blood Drive. Giancola died in March after a 10-year battle with cancer\, and relied on hundreds of blood donors who improved his quality of life and helped him survive much longer than his doctors expected. This donation drive is their way to give back to others.\n\nThe Mini GOLM\, sponsored by Catamount Radio and Green Mountain Power and dedicated to Giancola's memory\, will be held July 14 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town. Due to Covid-19\, the American Red Cross is taking special precautions to protect donors and staff\, practice social distancing\, and ensure a safe blood supply. \n\n\n\n \n\nThe Mini Marathon is an offshoot of the national-record-setting Gift-of-Life Marathon. The GOLM began as an ordinary blood drive but over time grew into the largest blood drive in American history\, setting the national record of 2\,350 pints in one day in 2013. The record still stands\, and the American Red Cross has stopped doing one-day marathon drives\, so the record is likely to stand for some time.\n\nAppointments strongly encouraged: Visit www.redcrossblood.org\n\n\n \n\n or call 800-RED-CROSS.\n\nRead more...
