Trying to get 25 gallons by early next year
Today, I donated by 174th and 175th pints of blood products at the blood bank in San Bernardino. I've been donating platelets and plasma. (Platelets are the solid parts of the blood and plasma is the liquid part of the blood.) The blood bank gives you 2 pints credit since they take so much out of you. Hopefully, by early next year I should have 200 pints or 25 gallons. That's 13 donations. By the way, unlike whole blood, I can donate platelets and plasma every two weeks instead of every 56 days.

FYI - Lifestream is the new name for the Blood Bank of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Yes, Lifestream is Red Cross affilated by the way.
