Blood Glorious Blood

Well I saw on another blog (wonder who's it was)!!! that someone else gave blood as well. Well it didn't hurt at all and the staff were really nice. It took only about 20 mins, to do, that was coz the donor didn't drink the required amount of fluid prior to donating, otherwise it would have been shorter. Apparantly around 30% of donated blood goes to cancer patients, and there is not enough blood to go around. So if one has a spare half hour and is elegible to donate, I can highly recommend this practice. And a cup of coffee, drink of juice and bickies are the reward for our efforts.
