They also said that in the past, they have had hospitals and even the Governor calling them for platelets. Seeing that need, I will donate as long as I can. There was one man that died recently at 100 who had donated platelets for the last time in the spring. My Hero.

You must know their movie collection fairly well?
I usually donate on the blood mobiles and that's where I can get to them via golf cart but decided to add some platelet donations this year.
