Meg is a long time blood donor with Southeastern Community Blood Center. She�s given over five gallons of blood and platelets over the years, starting in her early twenties. �It�s so easy, it�s painless, and the staff is so pleasant,� says Meg.

She had been a blood donor for years, when two years ago, a staff person asked if she�d every tried donating apheresis platelets. �They explained the process to me, and since my schedule is pretty flexible, I tried it. I work part-time for the United Way, and it�s easy to schedule an appointment.� Meg is also registered as an organ donor. �I�ve always thought that, even if I don�t do anything else in my life, at least I could be an organ and blood donor.�

She is married, and the mother of two daughters, ages 12 and 15. She likes to spend time gardening, camping and reading, and is very active in her church.
