If my math is right, I should cross 13 gallons this afternoon! 91st unit.

That’s my happy face for the moment.
It’s been too long since I was able to #SPILLBLOOD, and I barely was eligible for this one, but #HEMOGLOBINFORTHEMASSES was accomplished. Sadly, it was only a regular donation, and not my usual #POWERRED, where I could really do some damage (help some people).

My platelets! Get back in me! 😄 #onegative #powerred #blooddonor

About to get a couple of pints lighter! We may all be gonna die one day, but I aim to help as many people as I can wait a little bit longer.

Made sure to donate #PowerRed at a #RedCross blood drive host by #ThunderinTauChapter

Just hit my 5 gallon mark with American Red Cross! #heroforbabies #donorforlife #powerred #giveifyoucan #blooddonor

Letting them take all my blood. Drain me baby! #redcross #powerred

You have to be nice to me today. It’s the rules. #redcross #blooddonation #powerred

What are you doing during lunch? #donateblood #giveblood #powerred

Just donated #powerred for the first time. That was an experience 😳. Almost passed out at one point but I did the same thing the first time I donated blood when I was 18. It’s time for some iron and a nap. @americanredcross.bsky.social

A real hero. Makes me proud to be one of #AmericanRedCross Heroes for Babies. I gave a #powerred donation today!

What better thing to do on a cold MN day than get out and do a #PowerRed donation? Even got some cookies out of it 😀

Today's donation recommendation: If you are eligible, please give blood. #americanredcross #donateblood #powerred

It’s power red day! Please donate there’s a critical blood shortage all over this country #AmericanRedCross #BloodDonor #PowerRed

BACK IN THE SEAT TO LEAK 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

After almost a year of false starts, I’m allowed to spill bodily fluids for a good cause again (as opposed to just for the endorphin release). Additionally, my hemoglobin exorcists took a #powerred (double supply of red blood cells), which I try to always give.

Grrl.

#Fashionista #PowerRed

Donated blood yesterday and I feel like a champ today. #PowerRed is amazing! You donate two units instead of one because they centrifuge it and return your plasma. So much fun 🤣
