A couple weeks ago, I was able to donate blood for the first time!! It wasn't as bad as I thought, and I got a nifty pin to 'celebrate' it being my first time. This was my major 'resolution' last year, and I wasn't able to complete it then because of my low iron. We prepared a bit this time, eating lots of rich-in-iron foods, and I had no problem getting a high iron score - even a few higher then James'!
good for you! I've never tried, but kind of want to, mostly because of the field we're in... but the few times I've given blood for research, I got light-headed & had to stop after 70ml or so.. :/ i really should just try though! such a good cause!
