Sau National Blood Drive 26.10.13

[Liz]

Great initiative! I can't give blood myself but I wish I could!

Get involved!!!

[MR33YO]

I'm happy to come out and support but pretty sure I can't give, but if I can I will.

Does anyone know where I can find out the rules with donating?

[luke gtr]

should be on the red cross website.

[luke gtr]

So i cant donate but I'm up for the drive and support everyone who is

[luke gtr]

anyone else?

its also a meet up, so, socialise whilst people give.

surely theres more then 3 people that can donate?

[luke gtr]

great idea, would give but not worth it driving halfway across sydney just to give blood - thanks for the reminder though will do it somewhere nearer to home

cmon......

we are looking at setting up a sau team, see which state donates most.

you should be able to donate at any centre, and have the point go to our team.

[DekA]

I'll be along to donate

[luke gtr]

thats more like it.

just got the word, qld is expecting 20+ people donating.

we going to let those banana benders out donate us?

if you have donated recently, you can still give plasma.

That's cheating! We're getting all our guys to the one stop!!!

We had 21 at the last one and that was with people unable to donate for stupid reasons, like forgetting their wallet, having a sore throat and passing out whilst on the scales.

If we could do 21 last time, we should smash it this time!

[t5iv]

good stuff.

havnt really seen any other states move on it though.

hope more people put their hands up to help out.

SA is in. Hopefully VIC (which actually auto corrected to cox, lol) can get in on it too.

Aim = 150 donors on the one day from SAU nationwide. Bring it!

[GoldZilla]

C'mon people!

If any of you are still thinking about whether to do this or not, just remember that it may well be you or someone you know who could need that blood one day.

I can't give due to medical reasons, but I do have blood tests every month for my ongoing health condition. Being scared of needles and/or the sight blood is SOFT!

[luke gtr]

ok, 5 spots booked for 12 noon.

Please make sure youve had some food and drink in g heart e 3hrs previous to this.

we shall get there early to start filling out paperwork.

I assume all are donating blood except myself?

*im donating plasma*

[ianjb]

Hey Luke, Not sure if my post conveyed the fact that I'm in.

If it didn't.. consider this my intention to donate.

[t5iv]

Anyone else?

[luke gtr]

hope youre all ready to roll up your sleeves, and donate.

[DekA]

Sorry Luke, I now have to bail on this. I promise to donate within the next couple of weeks to make up for it.
