The American Red Cross has my number. They just called and scheduled my 16th appointment to give blood. Two gallon pin, coming up! :-)

I’m no superhero, but three to four times a year I save lives. In fact, I did it again today.
After lunch I walked to the local library where the American Red Cross had a blood drive. In about an hour I’d saved up to three lives.
You could donate blood, too, even if you’re a wimp. I know, because I am.
What’s stopping you? Be someone’s hero.
It’s Valentine’s Day — the perfect time to make another appointment to donate blood. Mine is March 2.
After a year’s hiatus,1 I donated blood again today. It feels good. :-)
Even if you’re afraid of needles, you can give blood, too. Just read my wimpy blood donor survival guide.
Please join me this holiday season in donating blood. You could save up to three lives.
