Hey Everyone,
Today I did something I've been meaning to do for a very very long time and have just never gotten around to it.
I donated blood.
Just wanted to let everyone know in hope of inspiring someone else to pick up the phone and make an appointment to donate.
It only takes an hour of your time (first time donators need to fill out forms and stuff so that's why it takes an hour) and it really doesn't hurt and your donation can help save up to three lives so really there is no reason not to do it. You can even go on Sundays.
And they even feed you after! Today they had pizza, cheese and crackers, cherry ripes or mars bars, biscuits and tea, coffee and fruit juice. Everyone loves free food.
But most importantly you will get the unmistakable warm fuzzy feeling you get from knowing you may have helped save someone's life. It really is a beautiful feeling and worth every minute of your time and that tiny tiny pin prick sensation in your arm when they put in the needle. Worth it all by a long shot.
So if you have a bit of time spare, don't have an intense fear of needles and meet the requirements for someone who can donate, please give the red cross a call on 13 14 95 or visit the website http://www.donateblood.com.au/.
It takes a special person to donate blood.
