Dr. Q
MacRumors is pleased to announce our fifteenth annual MacRumors Blood Drive, taking place in May 2024. Let's save lives together by encouraging blood, platelet and plasma donations. While most blood drives are limited to a specific geographic location, our blood drives are held online and around the world. Anyone can take part.
Over the past 14 years, MacRumors Blood Drives has recorded 1,305 donations blood, platelets and plasma welcomed donors and noted new registrations in the organ and bone marrow donor registries. We've heard from hundreds of forum members who have donated or whose lives have been saved by the donations of strangers.
This year's top donor is user Neil.gtis, a three-year forum member from England. Neil is a regular donor, having given 98 blood donations to date and will reach his 100th blood donation this year. Whether you're a regular donor like Neil.gtis or someone overcoming fears to donate for the first time, we congratulate you.
How to do it, take part in the MacRumors Blood Drive
- If you are an eligible donor (e.g., under US rules), schedule a blood, platelet, or plasma donation (FAQ) at any donor center close to you. Publishing in MacRumors Blood Drive 2024! topic to tell us about it. Also write if you are registering as an organ donor or registering with the bone marrow registry (FAQ). We will add all donors and registrants to our honor roll.
- If you are unable to donate, such as for medical reasons, please encourage someone to donate and let us know. If they donate, you will both be added to our honor roll. The FDA has changed donor selection rules in the US, lifting the blanket ban on MSM donors, so there are more eligible donors than ever before.
- Share our post with friends, family and followers. Thanks to the forum members who post to MacRumors Blood Drive 2024! thread.
After the MacRumors Blood Drive ends on May 31st, please register your blood, platelet and plasma donations on our MacRumors 2024-2025 team page (see instructions). We'll tally your donations and count them for the MacRumors Blood Drive next May.
