Donate Blood!!

I believe donating blood is certainly important enough for a blog, so here goes. I just donated again this afternoon, and you should too! If you can, it's an amazing thing to do. A good family friend of mine was diagnosed with leukemia over 10 years ago, and ever since I've felt like if I can donate blood, I will. He would not have been able to survive as long as he did without someone giving up a mere hour of their time, and with that one hour you can save three lives!!! It seriously does not hurt more than a pinch. Donating blood is much better than any time I've ever had to give a blood sample for a test. It is definitely much easier than that and I'm sure you have all had to do that. If you've never tried to donate, please do. Just drink a lot of water the day of and your set. Just call the American Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) and you can easily set up an appointment in most cities. So please oh please oh please if you are able, donate blood!!
