Blood Donor

One way I give service to our community is donating blood. Today I received my 5 gallon pin. That means I have donated 40 pints of blood with the Puget Sound Blood Center. I have also donated in California and Utah, but mostly in Washington. Since donating whole blood is only allowed every 8 weeks, it takes several years to earn a 5 gallon pin.

ew. think about 5 milk jugs just full of your blood. I know it's a good thing, but gross, just think.

Measuring blood in gallons is very, very icky!
