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 would love to be able to donate blood but I was told I could not ever do so due to health problems from an accident I had years ago. Giving blood is so easy to do and gives life to those who would otherwise die, more pressure needs to be put on the public to participate

There has to be a better way to get those who can donate blood but do not.
I think that if businesses could create some sort of event for their staff if they donate bloode just like the fund raising done where everyone shaves or colors their hair in outrageous colours. If employers did this then their staff are more likely to give blood due to peer group pressure, hey if it works why not use it & it is for a good cause.
