Editor: What a great story about Amie MacNeil鈥檚 drive to recruit new blood donors (The Times, Feb. 17). This woman is an inspiration to many, for her fantastic effort to raise 129 blood donors, to 鈥減ay forward鈥� for the units of blood she received while in hospital.
I was turned down, because of a recent visit to Mexico, where the Canadian Blood Services have listed some areas as being at risk for malaria.
I urge you, if you are a blood donor, to contact the CBS and ask about your destination before going on a vacation.
Meantime, please contact Amie鈥檚 Facebook page, 鈥淎mie MacNeil鈥檚 Blood Drive-129 reasons to give鈥� and give your support and pledge to donate at the next clinic in Aldergrove. She had 56 donors on Feb. 13, let鈥檚 get her over her goal of 129. Well done, Amie.
