you might like to share it…. James Harrison has retired from blood donation after his 1,173rd donation. By good chance he has a rare antibody which can be used to counter hemolytic disease of the newborn, or HDN. The estimate is he has saved 2.4 million babies lives. link Oh and : "He disliked needles, so he averted his eyes and tried to ignore the pain whenever one was inserted into his arm." |

That's awesome! For the last two and a half decades I have been prohibited from donating blood because I lived in places with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow disease). The first time I was told "no" was the pint that would have been my 10 gallon pin. |

High blood pressure cut me off at 67 pints. It was a good run.  |
