Also HRH wouldn't really be welcome in the donation center, so we play it safe. Hopefully once I am no longer banned I can find someone to hang out with me for an afternoon. Thanks for donating, Jeanne!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248327206223128557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375617680384228238.post-86511279001657602013-08-27T10:51:02.407-07:002013-08-27T10:51:02.407-07:00I am a Commit for Life member here in Houston.

A friend & I made a pact to do this together, so four times a year we pick a date, schedule a donation and then go out to lunch together afterwards. The time we spend donating is but a fraction of the time we spend together on those days, which makes it even more fun. We look forward to it! My best advice - pick a friend and donate as a joint effort. It keeps you accountable, and it's a great way to save lives and spend a day with someone you treasure.Jeanne (NanaBread)http://insidenanabreadshead.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375617680384228238.post-16913953263467793182013-08-26T17:04:42.961-07:002013-08-26T17:04:42.961-07:00I've had several friends who are unable to for...I've had several friends who are unable to for various reasons, and it makes me sad that they are permanently barred, which makes this all the more frustrating because I can be doing that good for those who can't. I'm so glad that your children are healthy, and I know they do other great things. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248327206223128557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375617680384228238.post-86443632293291495272013-08-26T15:58:40.000-07:002013-08-26T15:58:40.000-07:00My daughter went to donate blood a few years ago, ...My daughter went to donate blood a few years ago, only to find out that she will never be too. Middle child had meningococcal disease as a child and even though she survived with treatment it is considered a communicable disease. Thus she can never donate her blood.AlwaysARedheadhttp://www.alwaysaredhead.comnoreply@blogger.com
