Life Saving Competition

Life Saving Competition

There are competitions to eat cheese burgers, competitions to race down a hill, why not a competition to save the most lives?  You might be wondering, how can the average person save lives?  Well it’s actually quite easy.  You could, become a blood donor, a marrow donor (which is a sure fire way to save someone’s life.)  You could donate a kidney to that kid dying who’s own have gone bad that you find to be a match.  You could check that little box on your id saying that you’d like to become an organ donor.  You could become a volunteer fire fighter.  I plan to keep record of everyone that I get to compete. 

I am going to surmise a point system for this competition, by next year at this time, if this competition gains more than 20 people one who has the most points I will give a gift card to the person who’s a                acquired the most points.  This will be based on an honor system,

Being a designated driver is worth 1 point.

Picking up a drunken buddy is worth 2 points.

A blood donation is worth 2 points.    

A bone marrow donation is worth 5 points.

A kidney donation is worth 5 points.  

Any type of organ donation is worth 5 points.

Saving someone by any means not listed 5 points.

Giving up a dead infant for stem cell research is worth 10 points.

Becoming an organ donor is worth 10 points.

I will record what’s been done on this blog.  You can use what you’ve done in the past as well in regaurd to donations.
