My dad set a great example for me years ago. Every two months, he would go in to donate blood. He's a tall man at 6 feet 8.5 inches, so he certainly has a lot to spare (LOL), but I was most impressed at how consistent he has always been.
His name is on the wall as one of the big donors. I participated in blood drives during high school and college, but it wasn't until I became a parent, that I made the commitment to become a regular donor.
Many thank to Johnny Molson and Midwest Family Broadcasting for including me in their Blood Donor Awareness Campaign.
Listen to Time for you is Life for Someone else
To those of you who can and do donate regularly, thank you!
Recruit a friend to come with you next time!
To those of you who haven't donated in a long time or never have, give it a try! Beside feeling really good about helping someone, you enjoy unlimited coffee, juice and Little Debbie snacks at the end. :-)
