DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a blood donor? It means… that you lit
 erally give from your heart- and no pun intended. You come with the unders
 tanding that someone else needs you\, and you come with a willingness to r
 espond. It means… you suffer minor temporary discomfort\, or perhaps you
  swallow your fear\, to bravely offer something for very little in return.
  It means…that you actively participate in the recovery\, and therefore 
 the restoration of hope for health and well-being\, of another human being
  -- a stranger. Your blood donation means that you will touch the lives of
  others in profound ways- it goes beyond health and science- it is a manif
 estation of the fundamental respect we have for each other as human beings
 . Your blood is constantly needed for many different reasons- cancer\, tra
 umas and emergencies\, surgeries\, blood disorders\, etc. And when you mak
 e it a priority to donate\, you are making a statement that YOU CARE about
  our community and the people in it. That is special\, and you are truly A
 WESOME for your commitment.     Rotary Club of Bellingham Blood Drive Mo
