Merrimack Business Leader Donates Plasma For Others

MERRIMACK, NH — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Annie Soifert who nominated Ed Hilston of Merrimack. Ed, she said, has donated plasma every two weeks for decades.

"I cannot imagine how many lives this unselfish act has saved," Soifert said. "Ed is a true hero."

She also called him a great husband, father, son, neighbor, and business leader.

Thank you for all you do, Ed!
