Ross knows he's making a difference

Hi,
Many years ago my Dad needed a blood transfusion and he ended up having them just about monthly. When he passed away I thought of the number of additional years we had with him due to those transfusions and that is when I started donating. Every time I donate I feel happy because of the difference I may have made to a family. I am now on aspirin daily so they don't use all my blood but I still feel like I make a difference.
