Top 10 reasons to give blood
10. You get free juice and cookies.
9. You will weight less! One pint less when you leave than when you came in.
8. It's easy and convenient. It only takes about an hour and you can
make the donation at a donor center, or at one of the many Red Cross
mobile blood drives.
7. It's something you can spare.
6.
Nobody can ask you to do any heavy lifting as long as you have the
bandage on. You can wear it for as long as you like! It's a badge of
honor.
5. You will walk a little taller afterward. You will feel good about yourself.
4. You will be helping to ensure that blood is available when you or
someone close to you may need it. Most people don't think they'll ever
need blood, but many do.
3. It's something you can do on equal
footing with the rich and famous. Blood is something money can't buy.
Only something one person can give to another.
2. You will be
someone's hero. You may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father,
a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help
save up to three lives with just one donation.
1. It's the right thing to do.
