M13KYF Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 been giving blood for 20 years. Well done you can progress to platelets, takes a bit longer but you can do it more often, plus sit and drink/eat while donating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 why do they say that if you have a tatoo you cant give blood for a whole year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Good on you. Really should follow in my dad's footsteps and do this, he donated for nearly 50 years right up till he was 70 a before the age limit was lifted in January. I applaud anyone who does this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Been wanting to do this for years, but unfortunatly Ive spent the past 10 years going to countries on the list that you aint allowed to donate if youve been to. Should be able to start in April though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
