Senior Alex Cantrell waits to donate blood. Cantrell donated double red, or twice the amount of red blood cells as a normal donation while keeping his plasma and platelets.

Today HOSA held its spring blood drive in the auditorium, where students and faculty who signed up were able to come during classes to donate blood to Red Cross. HOSA students were there to assist those coming and going from the blood drive, while Red Cross volunteers did the work of drawing blood.

“I’d hope that whenever I go to the hospital I’d get blood too, and I’m hoping that this helps someone else who needs it,” senior Alex Cantrell said. “I f—ing hate needles.”
