Eat a healthy meal or snack and drink lots of fluids before donating blood.

This e-mail was sent to me by the Red Cross. On December 27th, Charline and I are donating a pint of blood each to save lives. Give the gift of life and join us. :]

In order to donate, you must be 17 years of age or older, weigh at least 110 lbs. and be in general good health.

Consider these reasons:
1. You will get free juice and cookies.
2. You will weigh less - one pint less when you leave than when you came in.
3. It only takes about an hour.
4. It's something you can spare - most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around.
5. Nobody can ask you to do any heavy lifting as long as you have the bandage on. You can wear it for as long as you like. It's your badge of honor! :D
6. You will walk a little taller afterwards - you will feel good about yourself.
7. You will be helping to ensure that blood is there when you or someone close to you may need it. Most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do.
8. It's something you can do on equal footing with the rich and famous - blood is something money can't buy. Only something one person can give to another.
9. You will be someone's hero - you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life.
In fact, you may help save up to three lives with just one donation.
