Tuesday September 11, 2007 | 9/11: Giving Blood Today | Life |
Today I honor the memory of 9/11 by donating blood.
I urge anyone who is able to donate to do so. Blood cannot be manufactured and donations are the only way of obtaining it.
The list of requirements to donate is long so if you've never given blood before call or visit the web site of a local blood bank. The screening process is to protect the recipient of the blood. There are no dangers to you, the donor.
The Red Cross is a good place to donate, as are your local hospitals and blood banks. You can donate about once every 60 days so if not today then make it a regular thing.
If not for the benefit of mankind, donate for the free cookies and juice.

Thanks for writing, Bobbi. I couldn't tell if your husband was home from Iraq yet or not. Either way, I hope he is safe and healthy.
You bring up an excellent point about not being able to donate. Many people can't due to the many restrictions, so that makes it all the more important for those who can to do so.
