I didn't realize when I posted back on March 24, see post - Tennessee Blood Donation, that my Tennessee donation was going to be a milestone -
My dad often encouraged me to donate when I was younger but I wasn't interested back then. However, when I got older and watched what my mother went through, needing blood so often to help with her medical issues, my attituded changed.
My intention was never to compete with my dad or try to surpass his incredible milestone, but perhaps I now have another milestone to shot for too...
In my dads lifetime, he donated blood to the American Red Cross 124 times for a whopping 15.5 gallons!
