This is totally not chicken related, but: here goes: I'm requesting that any one who is so motivated to make a trip to the local blood donation center and offer up a pint of your blood. My motivation is due to communication with a BYC person in southern Oregon who is battling cancer. Of course, your donation in Maine will not directly benefit her, but it could very well save someone's life locally. Personally, I would be a widow if not for strangers taking an hour out of their life to save my husband's life. We all know someone who has benefitted from blood products, and unfortunately, chances are pretty good that you or someone in your immediate family will at some time. So, if you can, please take an hour to donate! If you have any questions about what is involved in the process, feel free to PM me. I know it can be intimidating the first time, however the worst part of it is making up your mind to do it!
