i've only given blood once, and though it took forever (despite my hyper persona apparently i have low blood pressure) i felt good about doing my duty. i haven't donated again since that spring day. i tried twice but had a cold and wasn't allowed in college, but it's an important thing to do, and a medical miracle that started back in 1667, when Dr. Jean Baptiste administered the first human blood transfusion by transfusing the blood of a sheep to a 15-year-old boy. um, gross, but good too, i guess, because that has saved millions, if not more, of lives.
on june 16, preston and steve are hosting a blood drive with the goal of raising 1,000 pints of blood. actually, all the appointments are filled, but keep checking online and you bloody well head down to the plymouth meeting mall (make an appointment first though) if you can, plus you might even get to win def leppard tickets. if you do, take me!
