Good for you Keith. I have not donated in sometime due to similar tattoo rules. In BC it just changed from 1 year wait to 6 months so I should be good now. I have never been sick, but when I do donate I bruise like a peach.

As I said I haven't given blood in a long while, but I did register yesterday (and did the cotton swap test) as a bone marrow donor. MY friend's 3 year old son has Leukemia (one of the most common and treatable childhood cancers) so it is the least I can do compared to the brave battles he has to fight weekly.
