I can say I literally bleed for my country. After work I donated blood & the nursing staff gave me & the other donors there a free #toque to help promote #blooddonation. This will be my 34th #wholeblood donation, according to my record with #CanadianBloodServices. I go to the permanent #Yonge & #Bloor site in #Toronto. I dedicate this donation to the recent passings in both my family & my friends' families. It's been a rough start to 2025.

I was just saying that after this many #BloodSelfies on IG/FB, it was getting difficult to keep the content fresh!

Today I was crowned #PlateletPrincess as I made my 57th donation. ('Beautiful Princess' is a title that I've had since my daughter was getting dressed for Christmas and announced she was a Beautiful Princess—'like Daddy'.)

#CanadianBloodServices has often praised my excellent veins, and time after time, they tell me I'm an #HLAMatch, or #DoubleMatch, like today. In fact, we've come to the point where we're always assuming that my #platelets are a match for someone, and they only need to tell me when they're NOT.

I'm not sure if this title is national or regional, or how long I get to keep it, but I'm certainly happy to share with any other blood donors out there.

Here's the recruiting part of the post: if you're in Canada, and you CAN donate #WholeBlood, #Platelets, or #Plasma, call 1-888-2-DONATE and make an appointment.

If you CAN'T donate, for any reason whatsoever, let me know, and I can make one of my next donations on your behalf.
