I just wanted to do a quick update on the blood donation challenge. We have a few people that have donated 3 times which is leading the challenge so far.
The results of the challenge is amazing so far. This challenge has influenced a total of 38 donations so far! That is absolutely amazing. Although this number is amazing, truthfully I think it is even a higher number. I have a feeling that more people have donated but not posted their name and donation date to one of the two places where I keep track of it. Remember at the end of the challenge I can't credit you with donations if they haven't been posted because I have no way of knowing. Plus by posting your date of donation it continually motivates others to get out and donate.
So remember to please update one of the two places with all your donation dates that you have done today!
The best place to track your donation is on facebook on the group discussion board located at:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/topic.php?uid=308139518644&topic=14369
If you don't have facebook then just post a comment on the blood donation page of my blog: It is located at:

If you are gonna be out there donating blood you should get the credit for it too.
As for a monthly breakout, we had the total donations by month:
March: 18 donations
April: 1 donation
May: 5 donations
June: 5 donations
July: 2 donations
August: 1 donation
Sept: 2 donations
We had such a great March and either people haven't posted there subsequent donation dates or haven't donated again. Since I got the news about having to go back in for the my bone marrow transplant. I will once again only be kept alive by blood transfusions. So I ask for all your help in filling up the blood banks on my behalf so I am not a drain on the system. Remember paying it forward is one of the most important things we can do.
I appreciate beyond words everyone that has donated so far. And who knows although I wasn't a bone marrow match to anyone in our network I might receive your blood next time I am in the hospital :) Wouldn't that be something.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and remember to update your donations on one of the two sites and KEEP DONATING :D
