SAVING 3 LIVES IN 15 MINUTES OR LESS: PART 2

Today Matt and I donated blood at the Red Cross again.  (We first donated blood on Day 4 of 365.)  I actually received a phone call about a week or so ago from the Red Cross telling me that they are in desparate need of my blood type (A Positive).  Only 25% of people who donate blood one time ever go back for a second (or more) time to donate.  I know how easy donating blood is and I know that each time I do it, I help save 3 lives, so I happily signed us up.  Did you know that you can donate whole blood every 56 days?  Yep, it’s true!  That means you can safely donate blood 6 times a year!  Which means that for a total of 90 minutes of your time a year,  you can help save 18 people’s lives!  Pretty cool, huh?  Now who said you had to be a doctor to safe a life?!  To find out more info about where you can donate blood go to:  www.givelife.org

You can help save 3 lives each time you donate blood!
