Donating Blood

So I go to donate blood last night and I am talking to the man putting in the needle & I say I hear there are 10,000 needed to have enough blood for this summer, and he says yes it's a difficult time of year to get donors in. However, he tells me that 25% of all blood donated in BC comes from the Island! So way to go Islanders, just one more reason to be proud of living here.
