Only 5 percent of people eligible to donate blood actually do so on a regular basis and yet most people will need a blood transfusion at some point in their lives.

Blood donation can be a scary prospect for those who have never donated (and even sometimes for veteran donors!). Will it hurt? Can I get a disease like AIDS from donating? Questions like these often talk a person out of donating blood but I'm hoping that by sharing my personal experiences as a blood donor that I can convince you to take an hour out of your day every other month to save as many as three lives with one donation.

I'm going to walk you through the entire donation process, from beginning to end. There are actually many benefits to the donor from donating blood, not just to those who receive the blood. Are you interested in helping save lives? Then please explore the information on this site and make the decision to see if you are eligible to become a regular blood donor.
