Give Blood or Your Time!

Giving blood helps others

*****************************************************************************

As I celebrate my 100th donation to the Central Jersey Blood Center this weekend, I feel compelled to ask others who are not already doing so to consider giving what is called “the gift of life.”

The blood you donate is used to treat premature babies, burn and trauma victims, cancer patients, and those who depend on blood for survival. In short, when you donate blood, you are profoundly helping others.

You will also get a mini-physical and will find out important information like your blood pressure and hemoglobin.

While not everyone can give blood for any number of reasons, there is also the option of being a volunteer and serving in the registration procedure and the refreshment area following the blood donation process.

There are donation centers located throughout the country and likely there is one within a reasonably short drive from you. To find a location near you, please go to http://www.americasblood.org/go.cfm?do=NBDR.ShowForm.

I thank you for considering making this invaluable gift..
