I finished up my first gallon a few months ago, but that was with the organization in the town I am in now, I've also donated a lot in the red cross in my hometown. I'm actually selling my plasma for the next month to raise some travel money, but then I'll get back to giving every time I can remember/am able to.

doubtful. It usually takes a lot more than one unit...

every bit counts thought! :)

As for me, I would guess I have donated about 4or 5 gallons.

i usually puke or pass out from a blood test, if they took a whole pint, i'd have to stay in the hospital for a few days. so i have never "donated"

When I finished my first gallon, they let me know, gave me a t-shirt and a mug. I just when in for a donation and they were keeping track. They told me once I get up into the higher gallons you get free dinners and stuff.

Once. They had such a hard time getting blood from me that I'm not sure I'd want to do it again :Q.

All I have is a Gallon Club donor card.

Never, but I really want to......maybe in the very near future.

Many times. I won't do it for a while though. It makes me tired with low energy for a few days afterwards. I'm currently training for mountain bike race season and am unwilling to miss those training rides.

Hasn't been for long time. I lived in England just before the mad cow stuff. Because I may have possibly eaten beef I'm not allowed to.

18 times total. I have a good way to keep track of it. every time I donate, I get a pin.

I used to donate regularly, but not anymore. it stopped when I started taking night classes. I used to when i was on campus.
