Great-grandmother donates 200th pint of blood
Margaret Delfino donated her 200th pint of blood last week, bringing her total to to more than 25 gallons.

Delfino, a 90-year-old great-grandmother in Bakersfield, California, began giving blood in 1954. She donated regularly until 2001, when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After five years of treatment, her doctors declared her cancer-free and she then continued donating.
