🚨 𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱: Help Save Lives – Donate Blood Today! 🚨 Congratulations on 125 gallons, Paul! 🎉 Love the socks 🧦 "I was recruited by Edie at the Rockledge branch while donating whole blood. Donating platelets gives my life purpose and it is very satisfying knowing someone will be helped. All is possible with the existence of Oneblood and the heroic staff that makes the experience extraordinary. LIVE TO GIVE!" 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲?

"I started donating whole blood in 1998. My Father was a lifelong donor, and me and my 3 brothers would always fight for who got the blood donor shirts that my Dad would bring home. We were little, so we would wear them to bed as PJs. I wanted to be like my Dad, so as soon as I became old enough, I started donating whole blood. In 2005, I started donating platelets. I tried to be as consistent as possible over the years, but it’s never easy, especially when you are scared of needles. Earlier this month, I hit my 100th platelet donation. I try to get my friends and family (and even strangers) to donate, but very few people choose to. Most people are just scared of the needle experience. Again, I am scared of needles. I hate the process. But before my blood donation, I look at pictures of sick children that are going through cancer, or burn victims, and how scared they must be when these little kids & babies see those needles. All my fears go away, and a switch goes off. And I want those needles in my arms immediately, so I can help those kids, and maybe take away some of their pain. If they have to go through the “needle experience” when they are sick and scared, and not feeling good, then how in the world can I (a healthy/happy guy) not do it to help them? Once you realize that and you look at the big picture, you will welcome the needle experience and get over your fears and donate. After my 100th platelet donation (and I don't know how many dozens of whole blood) I feel like I earned the right to share my story and most importantly, that people will listen." - 𝑹𝒚𝒂𝒏 | 𝑩𝒐𝒄𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒏, 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒂 🚨𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱: Help Save Lives – Donate Blood Today!🚨 #ShareYourStory
