Blood

[Joe Newton]

I thought I'd try and make up for my selfish blood type mate.

I'll donate £50 if you offer it as a target in the next throw line comp.

 

You should be safe if I'm throwing.

Get signed up for bone marrow harvesting. Or else.

Not bone marrow, but have just signed up to give platelets which you can do monthly rather than every 3 -4 months.

 

 

I might look into this, a friend of mine does it too...

Great thread.

We should all do it, maybe Steve could run a campaign? Could benefit the site as well.

Lets face it, we are more likely to need it than most.

I'm AB+, selfish type, useless to everyone else, but I can take theirs!

 

Start giving!

Thanks mark. It gives me a massive sense of satisfaction to think I might be helping someone in a life threatening situation.

They just use AB+ for zombie film props.

 

 

Ha lol :-)

I would do platelets, but it means a 45 mile round trip for me at the mo.

 

Its going to be a 60 mile round trip for me as I have to go to Cambridge, but when your daughter has a condition which happened aged 2, and could re-occur at any time in her life that would require a platelet infusion, you do it. It will also apparently be a longer process than giving whole blood but what the hell, it will hopefully help or save someone.

Exactly the reason why people do it, I organise a 10k run for Prostate Cancer Research because my Dad has it. Just trying to help any way I can..

I used to give regularly, but after working in some of the places around the globe, and some of the innoculations they bang into you, they wont take mine, even for research. Must have some good bugs in me then...lol

I started giving only to discover it upsets a heart condition I have, had to knock it on the head unfortunately.

 

They're welcome to have any part of my body after I've finished using it though

[penfold]

registered to give blood only to be told when I made the first appointment that as an epileptic and being on anti-convulsants I was unsuitable to give blood.
