The Twilight Saga Star Teams Up with Red Cross for Blood Bank

At last, a blood worthy cause! I’ve been waiting forever for Red Cross to team up with the Twilight phenomenon to increase blood donations. Twilight’s resident physician Dr. Carlisle Cullen, also known as Peter Facinelli, signed autographs for a Red Cross sponsored activity at Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 15 August 2009 to encourage donations for the blood bank.
“About a month ago I received a tweet from someone, asking if anyone knew someone with O positive blood for a boy that needed it. I RT’d it to my followers. It opened my eyes to this cause, so thank you to the person who tweeted me, and I hope the boy is ok.
“I am taking this weekend to fly across the country to donate my time, and yes, my blood, for this cause. If you are in the area I do hope that you get a chance to come see me, and support such a worthy cause. Donate Blood, Help Save Lives, (and maybe feed a vampire or two…heehee)”
Blood Deposits Actually, a blood donation on your part is really a blood “deposit.” Red Cross will record your blood donations, and, at any time that you may need blood for an emergency, whether for yourself or for others, you are entitled to “withdraw” it, just like in a bank.
Regeneration of Fresh New Blood Another great reason to donate blood is for your own health, for the heart is forced to regenerate fresh new blood to replace the “withdrawn” blood. Red Cross recommends giving blood regularly.
