It's the season of giving, and there's one way to give that people might not think too much about around the holidays: blood donations.
That's exactly what helps 3-year-old Ty McCullar stay alive.
Ty, diagnosed with two rare conditions from birth in addition to cancer, has been fighting an uphill battle for every breath since birth.
"Without blood and platelet donors,Ty would not be here today. I can say that 100 percent," his mom, Lauren, said. "During chemo, there were weeks where he would need two blood donations a week, or extra platelets. Without those, he wouldn't have lived."
