Blood Available

[tkhayes 348]

In case you have friends in need - thanks to blood drives at Skydive City over the years, we have more than 100 credits available for use.

If oyu have friends and skydivers who are hurt and need blood, we only need their details to transfer our blood credits to their cause.

FYI, contact TK for mor einfo

TK... that is so great of you to do!

I was wondering one thing about donating and jumping, is there any issues doing this that you were informed about? I've heard different things over the past few years and were wondering what you were told and passed on to your jumpers.

I have never had a problem donating and jumping, like anything, there is a risk, less red blood cells, woozy maybe, if you have issues, thenn wait a few hours or more, 12 should do it

Actually it depends on the person, like someone small like me takes longer since it's a larger percentage of blood lost, but that it can take up to 3 days to be able to skydive with no side effects. So I'd say listen to your body, if you can do normal activites then jumping should be no problem, if you are tired and light headed wait a day or so.

Fly it like you stole it!

Wow. What a great idea!

Just one more way that skydivers can take care of other, usually less fortunate skydivers with something as simple as a blood donation.

It might be interesting to see DZs everywhere do something like this and donate the credits to jumpers in need and the communities in which they are located. That could/would be some pretty decent PR for the local DZs.
