Why Every Pint Counts: An Officer’s Mission to Give Back | Built Different EP 16

On this episode of Built Different, host Colin Ledbetter comes to you from Busch Stadium at a blood drive held in his honor. Colin and his partner, Nate, reflect on the harrowing night they were both shot in January 2022 and the 50 pints of blood it took to keep them alive.

Joined by the Red Cross and fellow donors, they discuss the lifesaving impact of blood donations, the critical shortages hospitals face, and why it's crucial to give before tragedy strikes. Colin shares his personal goal to give back the 39 pints that saved him, proving that even in survival, there's a duty to serve.

From the importance of regular blood donation to the challenges facing law enforcement today, this episode is a powerful reminder that small acts—like donating a single pint—can mean the difference between life and death.
