Comment by Kristen Buckley on September 17, 2009 at 3:32pm: I was really looking forward to going, but I'm sick as well. The change of weather (randomly cold or warm days) always gets to me. Looks like I'll be spending the night in bed with tissues near. Urgh.

Comment by TJ on September 16, 2009 at 8:04pm: I'm gonna try to make this event, if I'm not feeling horrible. Under the weather and not loving the situation.

Comment by Nicole Fulmino on September 15, 2009 at 7:23pm: Can't wait!!!!

Comment by Doug Beman on September 12, 2009 at 7:52pm: I'm signed up.

Comment by Kristen Buckley on September 2, 2009 at 1:30pm: I swear I eat, but I'm too light to donate blood. Just how I'm built! I'll be there for the second shift volunteering.

Comment by Heather C on August 30, 2009 at 6:03pm: Wish I could, but I've lived/ visited too many 'High Risk' countries :"( I'm not able to donate for 3 years?!

Comment by Meeta Patel on August 24, 2009 at 3:00pm: I just donated in the beginning of August. I don't think I am able to donate for 2 months, however if I find other information I will be more than happy to donate again.

Comment by Tracey Lynne Haskell on August 19, 2009 at 10:57pm: i can't give blood, but this cause is extremely close to my heart... so i will be there to volunteer!
