Extending Lives

Every blood donation is a new excitement to me. Knowing that I will help extend another life or more, I would rush to a company sponsored activity and voluntarily surrender myself for blood donation. After an hour, presto, it's done.

Today's donation is my 9th time. I started doing this way back in 2002 when I attended the last Reserve Officer Training Corpse year. After that, I was able to invite my roommates and board mates to do too, giving them the opportunity to help and after a task they are very excited to make another donation after 3 months. I remember a time when the physician was surprised after learning that it's February 2, 2005 and the last time we donated was November 2, 2004. It means exactly 3 months.
I was even granted a medal of efficiency for doing such an act from my ROTC unit but it was just a bonus, what matters most in that endeavor is to help extend a life in cancer, accident, operation and more.
I encourage everyone to help too, let's grab every opportunity possible to help extend lives not only through donating your precious blood but in other ways. I know there's a lot of ways and they are just everywhere around us. Extend your help.
