sure. folks, it can be you, your SO, family, your F'n dog. don't care and since family members are...... biting my tongue. since family members may have more balls then the lot on here we'll use them. same rule, gotta see a sheet with proof.
seriously though folks, kinda sad to be honest. not suprising but sad no less. oh well, not like i'm dealing with rafters, rappelers, fisherman, or other groups with some backbone.

It's amazing what people will do when it hits close to home. Here's hoping it doesn't come to that in order to get you'll to donate. For those of you who may not realize it, they feed you lots of food afterward and give you lots to drink. That evening, it'll be a real cheap buzz since it'll just take a couple of beers.

What if we tied the next blood giving effort to the "best crag in america" annual basketball game, as in challenging the new that the red can give more blood than them. UK does something similar with louisville usually around the time we play them in football and or basketball.

all blood types welcome. full blood donation to a non-profit center.
c'mon folks, times running out. for those of you that have posted to FB, how do I go about seeing the proof??? I don't facebook, twitter, or use internet.
as for what I could see on the facespace page is one more person has given. so there's 3. THREE out of 50. c'mon folks, seriously.

I contacted the American Red Cross about getting a donation bus at RockSport in Louisville. They said normally these things are planned a few months in advance. Still, they tried to work with me but a major blood drive at Churchill Downs next week has their assets tied up. They offered July 23 and July 25 as possibilities, and RockSport was good with those dates, but that obviously is beyond our July 11 deadline. So, we are taking a different route to make sure Louisville climbers do their part. I will post as a new thread so Louisvillians are sure to see it.
Lexington, Knoxville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Nashville....it’s your turn.
