I will always echo this - if you can, please do.
I, for one, wouldn't be here if people didn't donate.

Started donating again recently after a 40 yr lay off. Not only do you have a sense of self importance but you also get to eat as many chocolate biscuits and crisps as you want afterwards. What’s not to like!

Not sure they’re that desperate. Gave blood for years, and it became more difficult to even get an appointment to donate as they were always fully booked. Could be just te area I live in. Good thing to do though.
You're welcome.

This. Then having missed a couple of quarters they started behaving like a blood starved vampires. Texting, calling, even calling home phone.
Came to view them like America... if you want me to go, make it easy. If you make it difficult then don't be surprised if I don't make the effort.

Same in the States. Only found out when there was a blood drive in the office and the literature from the Red Cross said the same about CJD.
Based on those parameters that's a lot of potential donors excluded

Same here. But then I am a bit of a mad cow at times. Usually Thursdays.
Come on people, can we B+ about this....boom tosh
Gave again today for the umpteenth time. I thought that the health service is particular keen on getting more ethnic minorities to donate, after reading that in the paper last year I can’t help but note in the three subsequent visits I’ve only seen one person of colour giving an armful. Just an observation, I’m not making any other kind of point.

I will add my name to the list of those that may have died without having received blood.
If you can give it please do.

I always felt a bit yeugh about giving blood - more than a bit yeugh, actually - I didn't fancy the idea at all. But I screwed myself up and went along to give blood at the place where I then worked. They wouldn't take it.
Coming over here, stealing our blood.

I use to give regularly but since being put on blood thinners they don't want me any more.
