Tim does not just talk the talk. He’s given more than 17 gallons of blood over the years and on Wednesday donated once more.

His daughter, Meghan, joined him and also gave blood this week.

While they were there, a Good Day viewers stopped by to make donations.

"I came today because of the drive Tim Ryan’s having for blood. This is my seventh time donating, so I think I’m close to a gallon maybe," she said.
