Thomas Gorman was a frequent blood donor\, donating last the day before his death. Now the blood drive also honors Tom’s brother\, John Gorman\, a survivor of the attacks who worked in the World Trade Center. John died of cancer in December 2016 at age 52. \nThomas Gorman’s birthday is December 27\, which is one reason for December’s being chosen for the blood drive. Another reason is that the need for blood increases during the holidays and because of the holidays\, less blood is donated that month. \nThe Blood Donor Program at RWJ Somerset is open Monday through Friday. You can make an appointment or walk in. Please call 908-685-2926 in advance to verify times. \nTo honor Tom and John Gorman by donating blood\, please contact Somerset Medical Center Foundation at 908-685-2926 or visit www.RWJUHDonor Club.org. \nSomerset Medical Center\n110 Rehill Avenue\nSomerville\, NJ 08876 URL:https://911families.org/event/gorman-blood-drive/ CATEGORIES:Blood or bone marrow drive,event in honour of a September 11th victim END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
