Growing up, my dad often came home from work with an "I donated" sticker on his shirt. As a child, I thought he was so brave for doing that. Fast forward 45 years or so, now he is brave for another reason. For the past 3 years he has been battling MDS and has needed multiple transfusions. I am now in my 50s and have only now become a regular donor because of my dad. I wish I would have started long ago but it's never to late.
