Amazing Feats of All-Star Blood Donors

American Red Cross SALUTING OUR ALL STAR BLOOD DONORS CHARLOTTE | MAY 19, 2012 From Richard Petty's 200 wins to Jimmie Johnson's five consecutive championships, the amazing feats of drivers are well documented. While most of our blood donors have never strapped themselves into a racing car at 175 miles per hour, they know the thrill of a win and the taste of victory. • LEARN MORE ABOUT THE AMAZING FEATS OF OUR ALL-STAR BLOOD DONORS. REHYDRATE An All-Star donor gives about a pint of blood during a donation so it's important that donors rehydrate with extra fluids. THE AVERAGE TIME IT TAKES AN ALL-STAR BLOOD DONOR TO GIVE BLOOD IS QUICKER THAN A DRIVER'S 20-LAP SEGMENT DURING THE RACE. Be sure to drink extra fluids before and after you donate.
