Blood drive: calling all recruits in the Bedford/Burlington MA area - Dec 15th!!
Hi,
Please see my post further down this page for date and time details. Thanks, David My relatively small company is trying to organize a blood drive with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The reason is that one of our friends at work is being treated for cancer - has been for about a year now - and he emailed us yesterday to ask whether we could donate blood. I did not realize until John (our friend) told us how much blood is used in the treatment of cancer. Anyway, after reading his e-mail, one of my other colleagues at work contacted the Dana Farber Cancer Institute this morning to find out if they can come to do a blood drive here. The Brigham Blood Bank can come and we would need to have about 30 people who can donate. The thing is, our company is not that big so we need to find more people. Would any of you in the Bedford/Burlington MA area be up to helping us with this worthy cause? I know a tonne of you work on Crosby Drive itself so the drive to #14 Crosby where we're situated shouldn't be too hard of a commute. The following is a list of Qualifications and Disqualifications to be a donor. If you have specific questions or concerns, you can call the blood bank people directly at (617) 732-6620. Donor Eligibility Qualifications - Be in good general health and free of chronic diseases - Weigh at least 110 pounds (Raj and Paul may not qualify, sorry ) - Feel well on the day of donation - Be 17 years of age or older Disqualifications - History of hepatitis - History of coronary artery disease - Insulin dependent diabetes - History of most types of cancer - History of sickle cell disease - Travel in the past year to malarial risk area - At risk for AIDS or HIV infection - Being pregnant or trying to become pregnant - Tattoo within 12 months prior to blood donation John said it is the only thing we can do for him so lets do it. We will have plenty of orange juice and goodies on the day of the drive, so if you wish to enjoy them, you will need to have a bandage in your arm. If you would be willing to help please call me at the number below or PM me. Thanks very much! David Bradburn 781-276-0602 <--office Last edited by Bradus; 12-06-2004 at 12:03 PM.
