Yesterday I took the opportunity to do something that I've been meaning to do for an insanely long time. I'm not going to go into a whole essay about it, but it's an absolutely amazing thing to do. Something that is much simpler and less frightening/stressful than I was imagining, and it saves lives. I was reading yesterday that 25% of us will require a transplant at some point! yet a shockingly small amount of people actually donate blood.
They have stock levels, and although my particular blood type wasn't one of the most sought after it still has a massive impact. Plus the pain and resultant wound is really insignificant. I'm terrified of needles but I just found the whole process fascinating. I'd definitely recommend the experience as something everyone should consider. It's amazing how something so small can be so important! Plus I've felt amazing since the donation, i know some people feel faint, and I expected this, but I felt so great!
