Actually, I wanted to donate blood, just to help people. So, I asked my boss if he'd let me run a blood drive at my work. He had no problem with it, so I contacted Red Cross and went from there. So not only would I get to donate myself, I got a bunch of people to donate! Unfortunately, I was denied for low iron count (I'm not anemic, but you have to have your count even higher to donate).
But, it wasn't too bad. I ended up getting 29 pints of blood, one short of our goal of 30. And each pint saves 3 lives!
I have a second chance in March, when I scheduled our next drive, so wish me luck!
