Blood donors, the gauntlet has been laid down.
An elderly South African broke his own Guinness world record when he donated blood for the 350th time, inspired by the enduring memory of a terrible accident he witnessed as a child.

The South African National Blood Service said in a statement that 79-year-old Maurice Creswick had cracked his own record for the fourteenth time and that he donated 480 ml of his blood every 56 days.
Almost 44 gallons. Considering that most people have 1.5 gallons of blood in their entire body, that's pretty damn amazing to consider he's completely changed his blood almost 30 times.
