I used to be a blood donor. I thought it was important to help out, especially since I found out that my blood type (B-) is among the rare types of blood. I was only able to give 3 out of the 5 times I tried. For some reason my blood would clot as it was collected. I tried several things the Red Cross suggested, but I was never able to give again.
I felt bad, but the Red Cross workers suggested that I encourage others to give since I couldn’t. So if you’re a blood donor and you can give, you can contribute to my campaign. If you’ve never tried, I encourage you to do so. They will help you with whatever your needs are. I tend to get light-headed during blood work, so I got to lie down and have a snack brought to me.
Consider giving the "gift of life."
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
