Today was the firs time in a while that I’ve been in to donate blood. It was really convenient when I was at Uni because the Red Cross Donor truck used to come around once every three months and during a break I used to go down and pay them a visit. It’s been a long two years since my last donation so I went down with a crew from work… The Red Cross is in dire need of donations. There’s only 36 hours of blood supplies available in the Perth Blood Bank so everyone that is capable should make a booking as soon as possible!! Unfortunately because I’ve been to a malaria prone country and have had a skin piercing in the last 12 months they’re only able to use the plasma from my blood.

Best part about donating is the fact that you’ll be helping to save someone’s life… plus you get a free meal after your donation!

So visit the Red Cross Website, make the call (13 14 95)… or just pop into the Wellington Street Headquarters.
