I was just coming back from my college winter break on January 17th, and on my way back to campus, I kept seeing advertisements for OneBlood urgently seeking blood donors. I realized I could donate blood because I was 18 and had enough blood in my body. I donated for the first time on January 18th, 2026, and I just donated my second donation of whole blood yesterday March 15th, and I will keep donating whole blood every 56 days until someone tells me I can't.
