The day after one of our births a nurse came by to explain the importance of teaching children to donate blood when they are grown. I don't think that's standard procedure that particular baby had a very rare blood type. I used to be a regular donor, but all those pregnancies had gotten in the way. Lucky for me my church has a regular Sunday blood drive, and this week I was able to get signed up. It's a simple procedure. Answer a few questions. Get poked twice. Enjoy some carbohydrates. Almost anyone can do it, and the more that do the better it is for everyone.
So, get out there and donate. You'll be a rare one percenter--no matter what your blood type.
