Yes got my "Donors for life" pin for 2008. A Program that I joined when I donated blood in Vancouver back in 2000. (You needed 4 donations to qualify, they found out that this program was a success and continued it onwards, again with the 4 donation quota). that means in these 8 years I donated like 32 times, and helped to save 96 lives wow!

46 donations. 4 more to go, Donated on Christmas eve 2008, so not a bad Christmas present no?

47 The final 3 donations to 50. Just reordered a 25 (bronze card).

I'm 19 and am going to give blood for the first time on tuesday!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting a little nervous about it...but I'm still going through with it. So long as I don't faint then I'll be happy.

Me mam has given 50 pints to date, so I have alot to go to catch up!

Sorry for being away guys. Had to fix a lot of things in my life.

I went today to donate blood for a friend that needed a surgery. That's my 14th blood donation (Or is it 15th? I think I just lost the count)

Anyway...Blood donors day is coming! Next June 14th go and donate some blood...Also, tell your relatives and friends to do so....

SPREAD THE WORD

Can I join this club? The opening post says you have to be 18 to give blood, but in California you only have to be 17, and I've already given blood once. I'm giving blood again on August 1st.

50!!!!!!!!!!! 150 lives saved. Pin, certificate and ceremony, and a silver card. yayyyyeeeeeee!

51, and yes Jew please join.

I've donated blood this year ! It was my first time ! I received my card this week & I was sooooo happy ! =3

you just saved 3 lives.

Now here's a funny story for 52. I was going for a walk, to grab some blingage for my church's haiti support drive, and taking along the neighborhood unemployed guy. He's an older guy with an attitude of pride, so it's very difficult for him to get a job or so he regals me going to the bank and picking up food money.

Anyways. I was astounded to see a Canada blood service (formerly the red cross). truck in the parking lot. So I get to do the Double Whammy.

Hey Ozcar, mind if I join? I've donated 3 units of whole blood so far in my life. My blood type is O+ and I really like helping those who need blood.

55 donations so far.

Like I said, I don't know if I can even donate yet.......NY laws are kinda screwy on these things.

if you have a fainting problem drink alot of water and gatorade beforehand, yeah NY has some wierd laws

If it turns out that I can, I'll join. If not, I can still help at blood drives and stuff.

that's the spirit

......and I ...just tend to faint ....for no known reason.

probably some sort of trigger go back to the last few times you fainted and look for a pattern.

i was going to donate a few months back but I was taking amocsacyllin so I couldn't. i have donated twice but plan on donating more

Donated for the first time in Hong Kong, and I haven't even gotten my ID card yet. so now my material is in two places of the globe. I wouldn't do this in China, as there are horror storries, of horrendious everything up there. From Blood pimps (criminals who organize blood donors for money, ie illicit selling 99% of blood is done through this method as around 1% of the Chinese donates). with primitive medical facilities (I've seen hospitals that have garbage and sweage flowing freely especially in rural areas), with mothers breaking down hong Kong hospital doors for births, and familias of dead patients in china running amuck, and the number of violent stabbings, donating up there is moot anyways. and dangerous, who knows what needle they "sterlized" still contains some 3rd world disease?

The Donnor for life program orginally the 4 for 2000 (pilot program) was cancelled, in this new decade. I am missing a few years, as I didn't go on a regular basis. Shit. I would have loved to collect the whole set. The Canadian Blood Services (Formerly the Red Cross, during a tainted blood typical of China (Hepatitus, scandal). changed this.. the CBS wrote me a letter naming me "Candace" a girl. i'm a dude. lol. But I shall name my daughter Candice, just for the Lulz and this is the reason why.

I donated ALL my blood thereforf I cant move meaning I am the new lead of this club (BOW BEFORE ME SLAVES)

donated blood again my 2nd donation in Hong Kong.

3rd donation in Hong Kong.

IKR? I donated dozens of times over a course of 20 years. Had a tick bite go bad on me last year, so I had to stop.

True, the 'non-profits', who make tons of money of your life's blood, is kinda like supporting terrorism. But when yer flat on your back and bleeding like a stuck pig, all that matters is that someone, some person, cared enough to save a life.

My first time (donating) was in the HS gym. Halfway through the bleeding, and after I mistakenly chose to shut my eyes for a little while (kinda got groggy), a pretty nurse (just under 30 y/o) in full outfit asked me how I was, startling me. She took the ID I had laid on my pants (just below the belly button - we were supposed to have it out for easy confirmation). The nurse then felt around my ass for my wallet, smiling quite wryly, added my driver's license to it, and pushed it slooowly into my front jeans pocket.

I'm very glad my penis was very near that pocket :) I lit a smoke as soon as I started the car. Two miles away at the first traffic light the buzz, of light-headedness and an instinctual boost of adrenaline, took hold. A mental reaction that was never to have been duplicated again.... But donating blood is a good thing!
