Thanks Twister, he is doing well. And you are very right, a thank you is so much more rewarding than a T-shirt (or cookies).

i do it for the time off i get at work. and the cookies.

Whatsit2ya, I was recently wearing a blood donor tshirt I had received after donating a while back. A lady approached me and thanked me for being a donor for the sake of her daughter. Her thank you was by far the strongest incentive to donate again. I hope your son is doing well.

I'm going to donate, who's with me?

My son was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, and had a blood transfusion at two weeks old. I had always donated blood before, although it meant a lot to me before, now it is means even more. Knowing that somebody helped save my son's life, and i could do the same.

I've donated blood last week. Maybe its time for some of you to donate too!
