Give Blood - I'm a Stanford Donor

Post by GreyWhiskers »

Just got back from my 54th whole blood donation with Stanford Blood Center since 1981. I was pretty sporadic up until the last couple of years, but now go every 8 weeks.

Good additional way to support the Stanford School of Medicine!!

I am very grateful to everyone that donates blood. I cannot donate for medical reasons, so it is great that people who can do.

K1wi, 60% cannot give blood, we are not trying to motivate them. They can't give.
Of the 40% who can give blood, 5% do. It is that other 35% we are trying to motivate.

#55 today at Stanford.

Thanks to those others from around the world who helped us remember that those of us who medically can be blood donors can be of great help.

Thanks to those from around the world who help remind us that those who medically can be blood donors should consider: "give blood for life".
