My name is Mark and I live here in Wilmington with Hemachromatosis. It is an iron disorder and the Red Cross will not take my blood. MILLIONS of people all over the country have my disease and give blood regularly, sometimes as often as once a week. There is absolutely no medical reason for the Red Cross not taking my blood, it is all just Red Tape. Look into it...you will find a story. Multiply just 200,000 people giving one pint of blood just once every other week. That is 5.2 million pints of blood a year.....
Red Cross problem solved...you're welcome.

Blood Shortage is Red Cross' own fault....
