I have donated blood & platelets since the early 1980’s. It was called by Reading Hospital back then ( Before Keystone) and told a Leukemia patient and I were a match AB pos, and was asked if I could come down ASAP to help out, and I did. Never met the young lady, and never knew how she made out. several years later, I was working with a co-worker, and he was telling me about his sister who had Leukemia, and that through the efforts of others, she was able to stay alive for about one year longer. After talking further, I found out, I was one of those that helped in her time of need back then. Ever since then, I have been donating as regular as possible. Today, I am closing in on 20 gallons. I encourage as many as possible to donate. After all ” A life is worth more than a little time”
