Drive
FOR

Kurt D. Ludwig
North Massapequa Fire Department Chief
Richard A. Erickson is urging residents to participate in the
Departments semi-annual blood drive scheduled for Tuesday, January
31, 2006 at the North Massapequa Fire Department's Headquarters
(1000 Broadway in North
Massapequa, New
York) from 3:30pm to 8:30pm to help
replenish low supplies at local blood banks.
"Hospitals use hundreds of pints of blood
each day to meet the needs of Long
Island's patients," Chief Erickson said. "Giving
blood is always in season and what better way to make a difference
this winter then by giving the gift of life to someone in
need."
Chief Erickson said people should always
donate whenever they can, especially during the winter months when
supplies can drop drastically.
"Donating is quick and easy and is an
entirely safe procedure," explained Chief Erickson. "All
materials used during the process are sterile, disposable and used
only once . . . by you. There is no danger of contracting any
disease, including AIDS. The pint of blood you donate will
never be missed by your body, which manufactures an equivalent
amount in 24 hours, but it could mean the difference between life or
death to one or more recipients. When broken down into component
parts, one single pint of blood can be used to heal and help the
bodies of five different people.”
To qualify as a blood donor, a
person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old, weigh at least
110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56
days.
The
fire department will provide refreshments for everyone who attends
the blood drive. For more information, residents can contact the
fire department by calling (516) 579-0900. Residents can also go
online at www.NMFD-660.com
“Remember,
there are many people out there hoping you are the type to give
blood,” Chief Erickson said. “More important, you may also be the
‘right type’ for a patient waiting for the gift of
life.”
