Here is a picture of me getting some blood. I want to tell you all once again, how important it is to donate blood. I have received likely over 70 transfusions of blood products, which include red blood cells, platlets, and other clotting factors. Without these donations I would not be alive, they have literally saved my life. If you go and donate any type of blood products you will be saving a life. If you want to go a step further you can register for the bone marrow donor registry.
