I gave for the first time on Sunday, it's good to know that your donation can help up to 3 people or 8 new born babies

A good time to donate blood is about 4-5 days before major holidays. It takes a few days for a blood bank to process the blood for use. So I normally try to donate before Memorial Day and Labor Day. Typically around holidays where there are increased accidents of all types. ie. boating, vehicle, etc. However, anytime is a good time to donate. You will be answering someone's needs & maybe prayers.

I have for the first time today and I’m happy to be able to help someone in need

[rodneybooth]

I didn't start donating until after I retired and I got my 2 gallon pin last year. I sleep very well by giving blood regardless of what it's used for. I hope I can continue giving as I age.

Your risk for heart attack is significantly reduced when you donate as well, triglycerides and cholesterol levels normalize significantly. My mother was not progressing with statins or they weren’t working tried other prescribed beta blockers finally I made her donate and walla” he Bp reglulated triglycerides returned to normal Bp went from sys 210 to sys 130 now I do this as well not only do you help others in dire need, you kill two birds with one stone.

[Tweakkkkkk]

[neemguy]

I was born at an Air Force base in England in 1981. I was moved to the US when I was 9 months old. I was told I can't donate due to the mad cow disease. Is there a way to test out of this? I'm O- and would really like the chance to donate.

[jimcook]

I used to donate my O- blood until some San Diego Police officers went out of their way to screw me. Donating for me is like shoveling sand against the tide. Why be a good guy when tyrannts will do you harm just cause they can and society says its ok.
