With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, many are already thinking about what to get that special someone. However, I say give a little of yourself this year.
Several years ago around this time, I had a severe medical emergency and had to receive 8 pints of blood. If it wasn't for the large caring hearts of blood donors I certainly would not be here to write this today. So this Valentine's Day I encourage you to give a little of yourself and donate blood. There are so many people in need everyday. I can tell you first hand that it does save lives and those people who lives you save are indeed so grateful.
If you would like to donate or want more information on donating blood you can go to http://www.redcrossblood.org to find our more information, find a local blood drive or schedule an appointment. I highly recommend looking at the recipients story's to fully understand how important donating blood really is.
