I was donating platelets today also. I go every 4 weeks….I know I can go practically every week but that’s too much for me. I have been donating blood, plasma, and now platelets since 1986. Everyone asks me why I do it and I reply “because I can”. We are moving in Dec. and I will continue to go to the Red Cross where I initially started donating. I will continue until I can’t anymore. As for the Harris/Walz attire……I am not sure I would be brave enough to wear it at the center. I’m in red Central FL and they are jerks here.
