Takin' a seat in the big old chair.
Alright Guys,
As you know, since I turned 18 i've been donating blood on a regular basis. In early to mid june I will start donating blood using platlet pheresis (sp?), where basically they seperate my plasma from my platlets, give me back the plasma and keep the platlets. THis entire process involves about an hour and a half to two hours. It means they can take my blood more often, thus helping more people.
But why update about this, you may ask. Well I was wondering if you guys, my friends, would like to try to match my chair time in normal blood donations. Basically I'm asking if 5-6 of you guys would be interested in donating blood. I know some of you are afraid of needles and such but really no body likes needles. It's just a chance to do something nice for somebody else, and get free donuts, coffee, tea, cookies, and sometimes soup after. So ya. I just thought it would be a cool chance to get some of you to give donating blood a try. If you're interested in criteria, check the blood donors website, I think if you google canadian blood services you'll find it. Just an idea. give it some thought.
