21st of July 2025

As soon as I turned 16 I donated blood every time I was eligible. I managed to donate a gallon and a half, then had to stop due to a stubborn case of the gay.

With the recent rule changes, I'm now able to donate plasma. So tonight was donation #1, 880mL.

When applying you need to pick a TKID that is not in use. If you pick one in use, you will need to pick a new one.

All available TKIDs can be found here

I haven't donated in too long! 

Booked in for Plasma this Sunday (14th Jan 2024) at Rosehill

Next donation Monday 12th of Febuary.

Not counting my last week's donation

This is great, each donation saves 3 lives.
If you can do it, do it. If you've never done this, are afraid, reach out, I'm sure there's people here you can buddy up with if you need some moral support.

Deb, we can start a Team with Lifeblood.

Parking myself here to track future donations.

Part of being 501st is donating our time to the Community while donning costumes of the Star Wars world. The Southern Cross Garrison takes this idea to an extra level of donation by highlighting active Members who chose to donate blood and plasma while wearing all or part of their approved costume. Inspired by the Flagship Eclipse, we encourage members to participate in this ongoing blood drive, by tracking the total number of donations made and sharing with members. We will be looking into a commemorative 'blood member' merchandise item to recognise those members who have actively donated, or been present during a donation (for those who cannot donate).


HOW TO TRACK YOUR DONATIONS

You head to www.lifeblood.com.au to make a booking to donate blood or plasma in your local area. 

During your donation, take a selfie or a photo in a Garrison Shirt or in costume - that donation can then be shared in your own post in this sub-forum, and you can track your donations. 

Create a thread with the title: USERNAME: TKID (Donation #)

This way you can update your thread with total number of donations tracked as you add additional photos.
