100 blood donations done. (Mostly platelet donations) I started donating back in 2020 because the Red Cross would test your blood for Covid antibodies, and I, at the time, was curious if I'd ever had it as I never had any symptoms. I kinda got hooked, and now I donate regularly. And because I'm a nerd, I track it all in an LibreOffice Sheet. :) #blood #platelets
Please donate blood ( or platelets, plasma, and red blood cells) if you are able. Platelets and or red cell donation can take time but it’s needed for many people.

Donated 3 units of platelets today at Stanford's Blood Center. They are probably already on their way to a human who needs them over the next day or two.

Usually it's 2 units unless they have a need. The 3rd unit adds about 20-30 min overall to the collection time.

Donate if you can. #blooddonation #donateblood #platelets
