How many regular blood/registered bone marrow donors?

I think the regime regulating this stuff varies between Canada, the States and the rest of the world. I just signed myself up cause a kid in an atom league I volunteer/coach in has been diagnosed with leukemia. THe local clubs are really pulling together, and I'm really seeing how tough the odds are to find a donor match.

I donated blood regularly ever since I was old enough to donate. Blood donors saved my mom's life when she had cancer and that's the least i can do to say thanks.

I can't give blood over here, on account of the mad cow disease at home before I moved out here.

I'm goin on my 12th donation right...type A Negative. Supposed to have made that 12th donation in early september but just haven't been able to make it, gotta get that done.

I'm lazy, and probably wouldn't donate often (if at all) if I had to put forth any effort to do it. Fortunately, where I work, we have a blood drive every three to four months. The Bloodmobile parks fifty feet from my desk, and I manage to haul my ass out there. I'll be in the gallon club soon. Plus, free cookies!

I do it as much as possible. I recieved transfusions when I was born so its the least I can do. Though I have to be careful being a diabetic.

A couple of years ago I join the bone marrow donor's list. A kid had leukemia and I figured I would join. I think everyone should. I mean what better a gift then possibly the gift of life.

I am still waiting for a call.

Wish I could, but being hypothyrodic makes that a no-no.

I give blood and my girlfriend tries to but she can't even fill up the bag. She'll lay there squeezing and squeezing for 45 minutes and can't manage to get a usable portion. Stinks...

Most blood banks have the rule that if you've been tattooed in the past 6-12 months they don't want your blood.

This generally disqualifies me.
