Strong Like Mike

Strong Like Mike is a non-profit organization in memory of Mike Gallegos Jr. In partnership with South Texas Blood, we support cancer patients and their families and engage with our community to set up blood drives, encourage plasma donations, fundraise to support patient recovery and cancer research, and host community-based events where patients can come together. We’re passionate about saving lives, one donation at a time.

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a big impact? Phone (210) 701-6191 to speak to us about the many ways you can support local cancer patients and their loved ones on their journey to recovery.

Why Donate Blood?

When you donate blood, plasma, or platelets, you’re offering more than just a part of yourself—you’re giving hope to individuals fighting cancer. Your donation directly supports their treatment and improves their chances of recovery.

Cancer patients often endure aggressive treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, which can severely impact their blood health. These treatments can cause dangerously low blood cell counts, leading to anemia, infections, and bleeding. Blood transfusions—made possible by donations like yours—help restore these essential cells, giving patients the strength they need to keep fighting.

Plasma, the liquid part of your blood, contains vital proteins that support the immune system and aid in clotting. Cancer patients may need plasma transfusions to combat immune deficiencies or bleeding disorders that arise during treatment.

How Do Your Platelets Help Cancer Patients?

Platelets, which help blood clot, are critical for preventing excessive bleeding. Many cancer treatments can drastically lower platelet counts, putting patients at risk. Platelet transfusions help restore safe levels, reducing the risk of dangerous complications.

By donating blood, plasma, or platelets, you’re not just saving lives—you’re offering hope to people facing one of the toughest battles of their lives. Your kindness provides comfort, strength, and a brighter future for cancer patients and their families.

How Can You Help Save a Life?

Blood, platelet, and plasma supplies are in high demand, and the risk of shortages can be fatal. Even a single blood donation can save multiple lives because it can be separated into different components, each serving a unique medical purpose. By becoming a regular donor, you give the gift of life and become a critical part of our community’s healthcare system, helping people recover and thrive.

How Long Does It Take To Donate Blood?

Blood donation appointment times can vary depending on the type of donation. In general, donation appointments take between one and three hours from registration to blood draw completion. The upper end of that timeframe is for those donating platelets and plasma. The actual blood donation only takes about ten minutes.
