According to Carter BloodCare, donors must generally be in good health, at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and feel well on the day of their donation.

Parks gave blood during a Carter BloodCare mobile blood drive in the parking lot of Christus Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute in Longview.
