I'm a regular blood donor. Why? Because it's easy, and it makes a real difference. I've also been on the receiving end more than once. Right now the American Red Cross has an urgent need for donors of all blood types. Got an hour to help save lives? Join me in helping out.

The truth of the matter is that volunteer donors like you & me are the only source of blood for those undergoing surgeries, fighting cancer, and facing serious illness.

Everything you need to know about donating blood (including scheduling an appointment to donate) can be found HERE.

Seriously, its so easy! I've got appointment scheduled for 1:30 PM on Thursday (10/20). See you there (I hope).
