13 might be unlucky for some, but not on this occasion …
as it was my 13th blood donation!
Giving blood is one of the most selfless gifts you can give to another person.
By giving blood, you are potentially saving lives and helping patients with specific conditions recover and lead a normal life.
Figures for Welsh hospitals alone show that there is a need for 350 donations a day!
Blood donors are needed from all backgrounds to give blood to meet the daily demand and ensure there is enough for hospital patients.
Just one single blood donation can help up to three patients as it can be split into its different components and used in various ways to help patients recover.
Giving blood is quick, simple and entirely safe. And, the best part? You’re saving lives!
Who’s type are you? 😀
