Texas woman sets record for donating more than 2,000 liters of breastmilk

Alyse Ogletree has helped nourished hundreds of thousands of babies as a means of giving to charity

Alyse Ogletree would love it if she could donate immense amounts of money to all sorts of worthy causes, but as a mother raising three young children, that’s not something realistic. So the 36-year-old from Flower Mound, Texas, has found another way to fulfill her philanthropic instinct: giving away a record amount of breastmilk that officials estimate has been enough to nourish hundreds of thousands of premature babies.

“I have a big heart, [but] at the end of the day, I’m not made of money and I can’t give away money to good causes over and over because I have a family to support for,” Ogletree said in an interview recently published on Guinness World Records’ website. But “donating milk was a way I could give back”.
