I know a guy in WA who has done more than 600. someone over East has
done 1000.

1000 would require one donation every two weeks for 40 years. I did my
first 50 in whole blood, max of four per year.

Theo

 

Well done!

What are you? Some sort of inverse vampire?

Some people just suck. It should be pretty obvious that I'm not one of
those.

Theo

 

What did they give you as a prize(though I am thinking prize isn't the
right word)?

Fraser

 

Now, you're feeding the suckers... )))

But hey, good on you !!!

In South Oz I bet they'd give you *two* stubbies of stout.

(Haven't donated there for years but when I did the Red Cross was
sponsored by Coopers and as well as tea, coffee, juice, the beverage
list included Coopers Stout....)

This is because Coopers is such lousy stuff, they can't sell it to people
with good taste, so they give it away

If you get a prize, it's not really a donation, is it?

Cup of tea and a cake. I had one slice and left the rest for
distribution.

They do give out "Milestone" awards. I got a lapel badge saying 500
donations. Once a year they have a donor recognition night and give
something more substantial.

100 Bronze medallion 50mm x 4mm, antique finish
150 Bronze medallion 50mm x 4mm, silver plate finish
200 Bronze medallion 50mm x 4mm, 24ct gold plate finish
250 Fine silver medallion 50mm x 4mm 99.9%
300 Bronze medallion 70mm x 4mm, 24ct gold plate finish
350 Crystal glass beer mug (Hey, something useful)
400 Crystal glass ice bucket
450 Crystal glass water jug
500 No idea yet.

I was telling the kids about it yesterday at dinner and our 7 year old
asked if receiving a blood donation gives you that persons dna. I
thought that was pretty bright for his age.

 

That's what I was thinking of. I remember you saying it before. Maybe
a nice gold plated Guzzi. : )
