I began donating many, many years ago, whole blood. When I found out I could donate platelets more often I went for it. It doesn’t really hurt, it helps people who need them, I had fun with the staff and then came the swag. Recently, I have reached my 100 gallon milestone, something which I am proud of and has been my goal for quite a few years. I wouldn’t have reached that goal without my crew of Carol, Yuvi and Lizzy, who have been at my side door all these years.
