Saving Lives

I organized a blood drive at my work this past Tuesday and I am proud to say that it was a great success!!! American Red Cross set my donation numbers at 40 and I was hoping to blow it out of the water. I was able to get 48 people to sign up to donate but only 31 could donate. It was scary the amount of deferrals we had because of high blood pressure and people who had lived in Germany in the 1980's (mad cow) but of course it was not as scary as the 2 people who passed out. One guy before even giving blood (when they pricked his finger) and one after he gave blood. That's right everyone all the people who got dizzy or passed out were all men. I guess that is why God gave the gift of child birth to women. Our 31 pints of blood means we saved 93 lives!!!!!
