American Red Cross Campus Challenge, Part II

WE LOST. 2,019 units to 2,008 units. Only 11 units, seriously! I guess now we better beat them in football on Saturday.

We were in the lead the entire time, but Penn State came back at the end with a 550 unit surge. That's whole lot of blood, which everyone should be really be thinking about. Between the universities, that's 12,081 lives potentially saved. Something like that is way more important than winning or losing. I heard some really great stories and met some really great people and in the end, there's always next year.

If you want to see MSU's progress throughout the three weeks of the challenge this year, though, check out the graphic I made.

Or, prepare yourself for some pictures, which you can see on the graphic, too:

Gerrit, who was a little nervous, getting his blood drawn.
The needle in the arm, since pictures are forbidden at any other point.




All of the blood donating supplies.










The blood was drained into a bag under the table.
