I enjoy donating blood. Fortunately, I have never been squeamish about the process. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I can fill up one of those bags in about 4 minutes. I guess it’s competitive of me:) but I like to race the person in the next bed.

Thanks for the suggestion to babysit kids for a donor! I’ve never thought of that… It makes me kinda crazy that I can’t donate (always tell people it’s because I’m underweight HA!) since I have no problem at all giving it. Story of my life…

The same life experiences that have helped me mostly overcome my fear of needles pertain to the reasons I can’t donate (i.e. I’m too unhealthy and on too many medications). I like your idea of babysitting for someone else, though–I should keep that option in mind.

I always admired my dad’s willingness to donate often. Unfortunately, they won’t take my blood. However, my doctor says that they would still love to have me donate tissue or whatever when I die, in spite of having had cancer and ITP (blood disease).
