Hit the gallon club with my donation in May, I got my pin the other day. Pretty cool.
I'm hesitant to donate again while I'm in marathon training, it impacts my breathing/blood O2 volume for a few days after, but I might set something up while I'm still early in training.

Donated on the 20th.
Prior to that, I failed the stick test several times. This time I made sure my iron was up enough to pass the stick.

My work organizes 2-3 drives a year. I wasn't able to donate for the past few years due to failing the stick test.
I did donate in June though.
Why I do it? My mum had to get blood several times during her last months of her life. Because of that, I got a few more months with her.

Nice, I just noticed this thread, I think it's great.
No reps needed, I actually give blood regularly because my hematocrit gets high.
But I've been talking to the folks and have learned alot - blood is truly constantly needed.
I also like that Red Cross tells you what hospital your blood went to, that's cool.

Signed up for 9/10 at work, we do it twice a year, every six months. I should go more often in between, I know. This one is gonna kinda be a bitch because I'm marathon training and last time it zapped my blood oxygen levels for a few days.
I did get my gallon pin off the last one.

Great. Giving blood is the best way to reduce hemotocrit levels. Mine ranges from 42 to 46.

Nobody in my family is eligible to donate blood because they were born in the UK or lived there for more than 6 months prior to 1996.

I am one of the 3%.
I am one of the 1 in 8.

First donation after taking a break due to torn ACL and
subsequent reconstruction surgery and rehab in 2019.
Donated platelets for the first time. Might not donate platelets again.. takes 2 hours and 30 minutes and I was getting restless for last 20-30 minutes.

I donated again 2 weeks ago. For the record, here are some of my donations. Every two months. Good to see all of you give.

Just a reminder everyone - with the current health crisis, blood supplies are critically low in many areas.
If you can donate, please do. Just do itwith an appointmentwith your local blood service. Walk-ins may be severely limited.

Donated a couple weeks ago.
Sorry to hear, Rusty. My service cancelled me at the height of COVID. On track for the last couple of times.
Way to go guys.
