Have you ever thought of becoming a blood donor?
I am a blood donor and have been for many years now. An extremely rewarding and free thing to do for many others. Every time I leave I think “how many lives did my blood just save” please consider becoming one. It’s the most amazing feeling. They need every blood type and some people have a rare type that are really hard to come by and this could be you. There are people that need our blood every single day, please consider it.
Here is a picture of one pint of blood i donated this month.
It’s a good way of saying thank you to all our health care workers and to everyone in general as it is going to help someone somewhere. Someone’s child, someone’s daddy, mummy etc. We don’t know when we will need blood ourselves.
Here is some information below for you, have a look on their website and consider it. https://nibts.hscni.net
Our blood rejuvenates itself within 48 hours, the average adult has around 10 pints of blood (roughly 8% of your body weight). Making a blood donation uses about 1 pint, after which your body has an amazing capacity to replace all the cells and fluids that have been lost.
Sometimes I feel a bit tired after giving blood but apart from that absolutely no side effects.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions etc.
Love always
Hollie xx
