Dylan, you are inspiring bro! I learned more about donating blood from this post than I ever have. I never think of donating blood, but I'd love to start doing it. Wish I was in Canada, but I'll check out where the closest one is here in the US - do you know if they have an equivalent program? Do you have a group you go with? I think it would be easier to remember if I had a couple friends who all went at the same time.So from what I saw in the video on Platelets, they sound like they're more important than donating Plasma or whole blood? Sucks that they expire so quick, and makes sense why they are needed even more. What is the chance your donation is used or goes un-used? Do they tell you if it has?Just curious, what blood type are you? I can't remember mine, think it's like A+ or A- (wish there was a site you could log into to check, lol). Sorry about all the questions, but I'm curious, and I'm sure other people have these questions too and will benefit from reading the answers in the comments :)
