Saving Lives! I never really thought about saving lives when I was younger. I think about it, when I started as a young adult and getting into the working world, it just seemed like the right thing to do. I had lost a lot of weight, getting healthier for myself, being driven with my own challenge ever since...knowing it's a mental battle all my life. I firmly believe this is why I never had the health issues my mother and siblings dealt with.
I lost my Mother at a YOUNG 60. Her main artery burst after having a stint put in. My beloved late spouse passed at a TOO YOUNG 52-the evil pancreatic cancer took him. My ONE brother passed at a TOO YOUNG 54 with a heart attack. I have NOT had ANY of the health issues my family or spouse dealt with-so far, determined and paying attention to MY system. So, with my way of thinking, I've been determined and challenged with keeping my blood clean-not giving in with taking drugs, smoking or shots. I MUST be doing SOMETHING RIGHT...GIVING MY BLOOD TO SAVE LIVES.
