So, this is my first blog and I would like to take the
time to talk about something very serious and dear to me.
And that is giving blood.
Giving blood is one of the most heroic things you can do in your
life
You don't have to have money, you don't have to be a
superstar. you can be you and still save lives
Blood knows no race, gender, monetary status or discriminates. And
the summer time is the best time to get started. it is during these
hot humid months that blood banks run low on much needed blood.
Be a hero
Unfortunately only 5% of the popluation that CAN donate do and
donors are the ONLY source for blood
Anyone can give blood the only reqiurements are that you be at
least 17 and weigh at least 110 pounds. And there is no risk to
you! the whole process takes about an hour so...
Give back and give blood and give life!
Give Back, Give Blood, Give Life

Report AbuseI wish I could... and I used to give platelets... I am O neg. But because the FDA has a restriction on people that lived in Europe during the 80's and 90's I am ineligible to donate. However, I would every chance I could get if I were allowed to.

Report Abusebut don't give up just because you may not be able to give blood! let your friends and family know and you can always be a volunteer! you can head blood drives and give back to the community!
