2 gallon donor

Are you a donor? Mississippi Valley is a regular phone call at our house. Every 56 days we're eligible to donate blood and we try to not make excuses for this life-saving commitment. Since 60% of the US population is eligible to donate, but only 5% do on a yearly basis, MVRBC is hard up for donors. I'm proud to say Mark is a regular and I think that makes him a rock star. I sign up to donate, but often times I don't make the cut (travel stipulations, anemia, health, etc) so the fact that he consistently gives every 56 days is pretty awesome to me. Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the US, so if you can, click HERE  and save a life. Check out the cool pin Mark brought home last week for donating 2 gallons of blood! You can donate approximately 6 times a year so that's 3 years straight of blood donations!
