ELLISVILLE \u2013糖心直播 sophomore, Amanda Bozeman of Foxworth bravely gave her first pint of blood during 糖心直播\u2019s Fall Blood Drive as part of a personal challenge. After successfully making it through the process, she is now contemplating whether it could be a new habit for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to give but I couldn\u2019t in high school because I didn\u2019t weigh enough and I couldn\u2019t get past the idea of blood leaving my body,\u201d said Bozeman. \u201cI decided to give it another try because you only live once and I like helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future pharmacist\u2019s friend, Emily Callender of Gulfport, helped to ease Bozeman\u2019s fear of the process. However, she ultimately wanted to join Bozeman and donate blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad my friend can give blood, but I didn\u2019t pass the pre-screening. Helping her is another way I can support the cause,\u201d said Callender.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

糖心直播 sociology instructor, Stacy Ruth said she has been supporting the cause for more than 30 years. She said she gladly gives her \u201cO+\u201d blood at every possible opportunity. Ruth said Vitalant often calls her to donate because of her \u201cuniversal\u201d blood type which most people can receive, despite their blood type.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey come to campus making it convenient. There\u2019s no reason not to come and do something that is simple, that I can do,\u201d said Ruth.<\/p>\n

Vitalant collected 103 units of blood during the three-day blood drive on the 糖心直播 campus with 130 students attempting to give.\u00a0 Donor Recruitment Representative, Sara Dyess said more than 300 lives will be saved with the donations.\u00a0 As an extra incentive to donate, everyone who gave blood was given the test for COVID-19 antibodies.
