There are many people that have identified and prevented fatal medical problems at an early stage through the blood tests that are performed each time blood products are donated. A Mason approached me recently and advised me that he owed his life to donating blood as this was the case with him. I have been told this on other occasions by people who owed their lives due to being donors.
Many medical problems show up in the blood and if detected early death can be prevented.
Donating blood is giving the GIFT OF LIFE to someone along with assuring blood for loved ones if needed. It is a health activity that can prevent heart attacks. Detecting a medical problem early is yet another benefit. Please support our Community Masonic Blood Program by donating yourself and encouraging family and friends to donate as often as possible. Blood Drives are wonderful opportunities for fellowship.
