Back in November, I found out my wifes father had cancer. Its a pretty late stages of cancer, and they had to do Chemotherapy. Well one of the side effects happens to be platelets.


Anyhow, as a result I now donate blood as often as I can and would like to encourage others to do the same, Giving blood can really help save a life.

ima donater as well =)

 

They won't take my blood.

 

I try to when they're at the local theater, free movie ticket and food!

 

Thats cause you bboy too much.

 

^^LOL, Kyle!

 

I just donated my blood about 3 weeks ago in a Blood Drive nearby.
They were also offering $10 Starbucks card or 2 AMC movie tickets and a free USC t-shirt.
I was very happy that I did a right thing and got all these free stuffs at the same time.

 

Women can no longer donate plasma. With half the donor base gone, most blood banks need plasma donors. You can easily donate every four weeks (whole blood donors are limited to every eight weeks), and with a little extra work, can donate multiple times each month. Grab a book, an iPod, or both, and relax for an hour or so at the blood bank.

And afterwards, that mug of beer will go farther than usual.

 

i donated in school because i was of age and i got to miss a bunch of classes =D more because it was free time i had and wanted to do something nice missing classes was just a bonus but now i want to donate but havnt had time and cant find anything close to me =\

 

i was thinking about donating but really afraid that i will catch a disease from their needles. i know you guys heard of the incident in nevada with the hospital using old needles on their patients. that got me away from that ****t..

 

my vein collapsed and that was worst thing ever. started poking around after like an hour of being on there and i then passed out. woke up like 3 hours later.

I want to but needles ain't my friend

 

yeah man, finished off my service hours, got me food, got me out of class, and just wanted to do it, i felt good afterwards... wonder where i can get it donated these days..hMmMm

 

Last time I walked into one of these places (prolly 15 yrs ago when they had a blood drive at the church) I walked in and immediatly walked out and puked. I guess at that age I couldn't stand the site of blood.

I should prolly try it again.

 

are you puking now?

 

Lol.. Nice. Nope. Only blood in bags did it to me. I can watch surgery all day long.
