When I was younger, I was a regular blood donor; but then I got busy raising my children and just never got back to it. Then this year, my sister became so anemic that she requires blood every 14 days. I decided I needed to get back to donating blood for Julie and others like her, but I thought maybe those of us over 65 may not be eligible. I asked and discovered that indeed we can — so I'm back to being a regular!
