I make it a purpose of mine to donate as much blood as I can. I donate with the American Red Cross and started when I was 16 years old. To date, I have donated blood products 14 times for a total of 2 gallons.
I highly encourage you to donate as well! Visit redcrossblood.org to schedule an appointment.
