Donating blood

Today I donated blood, it may hurt a little at first, and sure I couldn’t workout this evening due to it.  But it is definitely worth it because it could save some poor kids life!

If you are fit and healthy then you really should consider donating blood as it doesn’t take much time and it only really impacts you for 24hrs.
