WE WANT YOUR BLOOD!!

50 billion mosquito's can't be wrong!

It only takes half an hour or so to donate your blood! And it doesn't cost a thing!

WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE BLOOD??

Giving blood doesn't just benefit recipients. Regardless of age, donating blood offers many benefits for donors. It lets you:
Make a difference in your community by helping others.
Develop a sense of commitment to and connection with your local community.
Be assured that adequate supplies of blood are available for you, as well as your family and others.
Check your blood pressure, temperature, hemoglobin and pulse rate every time you give.
Join a group of special volunteers.

The demand for blood never lets up. Every day, thousands of people need donations to live. Before they can receive it, donated blood must go through time-consuming tests. Then, it must be used relatively quickly or it will perish - whole blood, for instance, is no longer usable after 42 days. As a result, maintaining an adequate blood supply is a challenge - especially when a disaster occurs, which may cause the need for blood to soar. The only way to meet demand is to have regular donations from healthy volunteers.

GIVE THE MR. T'S OF THIS WORLD....A TOMORROW...BY GIVING BLOOD TODAY!

2 years ago....when Mr. T spent 6 months in the hospital....he received 38 units of blood & 47 units of platelets.

One year...when I lived in Montreal...we planned a family day! All the adults got together and went and gave blood at the local bank. Not only did we have a great time....it was a good excuse to get together....and we felt great just knowing that we were giving the 'gift of life'!
