Current Goal

My mission is to accompany a Geocaching blood donor when she/he donates whole blood or apheresis at an American Red Cross Donor Center. I would like to accompany 2 donors in each of the 50 United States.
In my accompanying green Geocaching micro container is a list of all 50 states (x2. Except Wisconsin, which has 3. My owner took me on my first donor trip and would still like 2 others in Wisconsin to donate.). Please punch a hole in the box next to the state where you took me along to your blood donation before dropping me in a new cache. Please note the city where you gave your blood donation in your log here. Thanks for your donation!
If I have not been to 2 donations in the state in which I currently reside, please send me on my way in the same state.
If you are not a blood donor, but would like to help me on my journey, thanks for your help! Please do not move me to another state until I have been to 2 blood donations in the state in which I currently reside.

About This Item

IMG_1046.JPG

The travel bug consists of the dog tag, an American Red Cross GIVEBLOOD wristband, a green Geocaching micro container with the states list, and a tag outlining the bug's mission. It is an a ziplock bag for ease of travel, and will probably only fit in regular (minimum) sized caches.

I have replaced the list with a new one and will drop near Washington DC sometime around Easter. I won't be home for a week after, but will log asap.

Picked this one up in Cocoa Beach, Florida while on vacation. The green micro-container is gone and I have no idea how many states it has completed. I will compile a list from the logs, make a new state roster, punch out the completed states, and send it on its way. I see that it started its journey in Wisconsin, and is now back here, but we will be sure to get it moving to a place it needs to be. I have not given blood for several years since being turned away for a low iron count, but will try again.
