Everyone should donate blood, if they are able, obviously ther are a few people who are not able to donate, so the rest of us should step up for them.! About 5 years ago, I needed an operation which then required me to receive four units of blood. Only 3 were available in the entire hospital, which meant I took a lot longer to recover. This is the easiest thing to donate, and costs you nothing, just an hour of your time, every three months. Can you think of a reason why you should not donate??

I was a blood donor back in New Zealand and have now joined up to give blood every three months here in Australia. Am now living in WA and it is very good to see more and more people are meeting at the blood bank more needed, I spent over nine years in the RNZN and travelling around we use to be called upon in many Countries to give blood some times it was more than every three months, but always for a good cause, if it even can save one life its a great feeling.
