« on: August 10, 2021, 12:09:14 PM »
My wife donated blood last week and has now given 7 gallons!  I was a couple of pints shy of 3 gallons when I could no longer donate blood. Some folks say I am a couple pints shy of one gallon, but that is another story... (jh

I just shared this with her and she appreciated the responses. She is a retired RN and said she is happy to be able to still help people in need.

Today my wife got a 7 Gallon pin in the mail from the Red Cross. They definitely know how to contact her when she is able to donate again!
