Andy π«π§Enjoy my platelets #StokeOnTrent!
That took me 63mins, a pint of squash, a cup of tea, one KitKat and an orange Club.
Whilst donating I also caught up on my backlog of #rss feeds.
Moved to mastodon.ie!As per the birdsite, I hit a milestone with platelet donation the other week. I know it's not for everyone, but if you can donate, please do! If you've donated previously and got out the habit, please have another go. #DonateBlood #GivePlatelets #SaveLives π

Jonathan RoweI 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 Princessβ'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.
