'Giving blood one of the most fulfilling things in life' - Leander

Giving blood is one of the most fulfilling things I have chosen to do in my life. I’ve been donating blood for 20 years now, and plasma for the last two years. It’s something I always look forward to doing as I know it is helping people in dire need. My own brother received a lot of blood after a car accident and it saved his life. That’s one of the reasons I decided to start donating. The staff at the blood centre are also so friendly and grateful every time I donate. They’re very skilled at inserting the needle and I can assure anyone out there thinking of donating but unsure about the needles that you only feel a very slight prick for a split second, or nothing at all! I encourage everyone to donate if they can and save lives. You’ll feel great about it and you never know when you may be in need of someone else’s blood yourself.
