In 2015, Sam suffered a life-threatening medical emergency that required a transfusion of 14 units of blood—more than the volume of the typical adult. He said the experience made him realize his own life was saved because someone took the time to donate blood.

Over the past seven years, Sam has held multiple volunteer positions with the American Red Cross Arkansas. “Serving with the Red Cross allows me to remember what I went through and just how blessed I am to be here.”

Now, as a volunteer Blood Services Transportation Specialist, he is a vital connection between blood donors and recipients, delivering blood to hospitals in the St. Louis area. Read more about Sam and the many roles he plays as a Red Cross volunteer: https://rdcrss.org/3RUc59e

"We push each other to be our best, and we recognize the responsibility that parents entrust in us to guard their children while in the pool area."

Meet James and Tom, two brothers who are lifeguarding together at 77 and 78 years old. James decided to become a lifeguard while he was recuperating from a minor surgery and with being retired, he was looking for something to fill his days. "It was the perfect solution," he said.

Tom enjoys the challenge. “Before my brother and I became lifeguards, a couple former lifeguards challenged us to take the brick swim test if we were serious about becoming guards. The test requires you to retrieve a ten-pound, brick-shaped object from the bottom of the deep end, and swim on your back with the brick on your chest to the shallow end of the pool. A difficult test for old guys,” chuckled Tom.

“My brother, Jim, and I have been Community & Recreation Center members since 2011 and enjoy using the facilities to stay physically fit and healthy. I think we’re both competitive by nature and we motivate each other to show up to our lifeguard jobs and also later on in the gym," said Tom.

“As a lifeguard, I’ve met some of the nicest people in my life. Many of them are now my new lifelong friends,” said James.
