An 80-year-old Alberta woman who has been regularly donating blood for nearly six decades earned the Guinness World Record for the most whole blood donated (female).
一名80歲的加拿大亞伯達省女子，已定期捐血將近60年，創下女性捐血最多的金氏世界紀錄。
Guinness World Records said Josephine Michaluk began donating blood at age 22 in 1965, and in the years since she has donated a total 203 units of blood. A unit of blood is roughly equivalent to a pint.
金氏世界紀錄表示，喬瑟芬‧米查魯克從1965年22歲時開始捐血，多年來總共捐贈203單位的血量。1單位約等於1品脫（約0.47公升）。
Michaluk said her sister talked her into her first donation. "I decided I would join her and that was the beginning."
米查魯克表示，她是在姊妹的說服下第一次捐血，「我決定我要跟她一起捐，那就是開端。」
Michaluk, whose blood type is the in-demand O+, said she likes knowing her donations are helping others.
米查魯克的血型為需求量極大的O+型，她說她樂於得知自己捐的血能幫助別人。
"I feel like I have it in me to give," she said. "I can share it to people that need it."（UPI）
她說：「我覺得我有能力捐血，我可以把血液分享給有需要的人。」（合眾國際社）
