Phyllis' Donation

In this tough economy, it is a great time to remind people that you can make a donation that costs no money, just a little energy and time - and can save five people. You can donate blood.

Phyllis donated for the first time last week -I have given whenever I have been healthy enough for years but Phyllis has a good-sized needle phobia. This makes her donation all the more impressive - think about your personal phobia, closed spaces, spiders, snakes, mice... imagine locking yourself in a tiny room for 20 minutes or so (or holding a spider in your hand while not moving) just to make a donation.

She made it through with flying colors (even though it did nothing for her phobia) and is planning if schedules permit to donate again in another 8 weeks.
