Final Donation Update What an amazing group we have! We made it to 41 pints of blood donated from around the world. That is incredible! We donated from 8 different countries. 8. That is just amazing! Well done for those that donated and for those that tried but got turned away. Just...

YES! You guys are so awesome!

I have all three donations from you Dnae :hug YAY for getting a free shirt! You should take a pic so we can see how awesome you look in it!

We are at 37 pints of blood donated around the world! Our goal of 42 pints by the end of December is totally doable! Only 5 more pints needed! You are all amazing! My husband Topher Cor'dazar is a citizen, and he is going to donate. We were discussing the blood drive last night, and he said...

WOOT! I tried giving blood, but I am not accepted at our local donation center because of having Multiple Sclerosis. The rules in general state that people with MS can donate, but each donation center is allowed to decide if their facility wishes to accept blood from people with MS or not...

YAY!!!!

Elin, I do have your Nov. 11th donation recorded ;) Marivea, I am so sorry that happened! I am thrilled you were able to donate though. I have had nurses puncture the vein all the way though, and it does hurt! I hope it is feeling better now. The bruise can sometimes last for a while, but I...

Brandon, be sure to fill out the form on the first page of this thread for each of your donations. I only have the one in February recorded. :( You can click on my signature and it will take you directly to that page. ;) That would be fantastic Dnae! I really think we can get to 42 units of...

Glad to hear it all went fine Taika :hug So, I did some math.... If we truly push to meet the goal of 42 donations in one year, and we are currently sitting with 25 donations around the globe. That means we need to get 6 donations each month for October, November, and December. Are there...

Oh goodness :( Did it hurt in the second arm? Maybe you just had a new nurse who isn't so great at getting the cath in just right. I hope it goes better next time. Thank you for continuing to donate even after a bad experience. :hug

:blood1 July Update :blood1 We have had 21 donations (pints/liters) so far this year! We are just past the half way mark in the year. Do you all think we can double our number? I think we can! Let's try for 42 donations or more by the end of the year! So far donations from our members...

Awe Avery :hug YAY for trying! Here is a list of high iron foods Try adding one or two of these items to your diet on a more regular basis. It might help boost your iron. Also, cooking with cast iron instead of teflon pans will also boost your iron.

I have been looking into what it might take to have a blood drive available for our live events. I found information from the American Red Cross that I thought might be helpful for those that have churches and organizations in their hometown who might want to have a blood drive, but aren't sure...

:giggle I doubt it Dnae. Besides, that requirement is there to keep you safe; probably not a great idea to be wiggling around the rules. Does the blood van come to your church often?

My father donates all the time though. He is O+ so he donates whenever possible. His work has a mobile blood bank that sets up once a month for the workers to donate if they wish. He has a bunch of those coins they give you when you donate a certain amount.

:lol Well, we would have to take the health of our members into consideration too. It could be a good idea, but it would take more planning and careful thought to make it happen.

Definitely something worth looking into! Since we usually get our locations in plenty of time it would just take a little research in the surrounding areas to see if there is a mobile bank available. What if it was done on the first day when people are waiting to check in. Before all the...
