  1. I’m feeling smug. I’m far from a being a “regular” giver but spotted a Bloodmobile and donated just last week. This is a great opportunity for you too to feel smug as well. It’s a wonderful gift to give.

  2. Be sure to register for marrow donation at the Blood Bank while you’re at it. If you’re very lucky, you’ll get a call one day.
