How about taking an hour out of your day to save up to three lives? It’s possible and so simple! Donate blood. Of course there is eligibility criteria that you must meet, but if you meet it, why not? In New Zealand only about 4% of the population donates blood, but many New Zealanders need blood transfusions for a number of reasons.
The whole process is reasonably painless and simple. You arrive, fill out your details, and ensure you meet the criteria. You then have a confidential consultation with a nurse to go over the criteria, answer any questions you have and have a small pin prick in your finger to check your haemoglobin levels. Then you are escorted to a comfy chair, a needle is placed in your arm and you sit back, relax and save 3 lives while watching TV. They even give you free juice/coffee/tea, biscuits, crackers, fruit and lollypops when you’re done! Simple as that, so visit www.nzblood.co.nz or call 0800 GIVE BLOOD to get more information and make an appointment.
Remember the butterfly effect - each small action repeated adds together to create a large variation in the end.
Until next time.
Peace, love and smiles xoxo
