Update

Photoless update:

So Jon came and donated blood today on behalf of the Fire Fighters for the "Sirens for Life Challenge" (photo was on Longwood's page) at Canadian Blood Services. I couldn't help but notice that no one else has donated in support of our brave family Fire Fighters! The Police are leading in Saint John so far...can't have that.

Hoping to see you all out in droves next week! I'm available to hold hands and fetch cookies if needed.

Stats:
- 1 unit of blood can save 3 lives
- takes only about 45 minutes of your time
- cancer patients, premature babies, accident victems, and those needing surgery all require many units of blood (sometimes hundreds at a time).
- blood can be donated every 56 days (8 weeks)
- 1 888 2 DONATE to book an appointment or ask questions!

I donated! It only took six minutes to fill the bag. Not too shabby eh?
I guess high blood pressure comes in handy for once...
