I heard on the radio about how the local blood bank has need bone marrow donations and all it takes is a couple of cheek swabs to see if you match someone/be listed in the database. I really wanted to help and hadn’t given blood in a while (the last time was so painful with them not finding a vein and then it not giving enough so they had to stick again and again so much so that I am reluctant to donate blood again)…so I thought this was perfect thing to do.

I go in and fill out all the paperwork and let them swab my cheek.

A week later I received a letter rejecting me…apparently anyone over 5'8 can’t weight more then 266 or else you are considered too overweight and too much of a health risk to actually donate.

I am 100% healthy…wtf…
