Many years ago I had an emergency operation and received 2 1/2 pints of blood (I know, 1/2?) from donors I would never know. My life depended on that blood and I was grateful. I was only a donor was and then was deemed to be unsuitable ( I believe I was too anemic). I applaud everyone who shows up and gives. It is the gift of life.

It is a shame not more healthy adults consider blood donation. Not everyone is allowed to give blood (medication and tattoos cross a large number of possible donors out of the list). People who are capable and healthy should (in my humblest opinion) pay a visit to their nearest hospital at least once a year.
It is stories like yours and samminator's that should become our motivation! Thank you for sharing your experience with us @agmoore! :D
