I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t given blood in years. How about you?
It’s National Blood Donor Week, so there’s no better time to help save a life. You can call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) today to book an appointment.
Okay, I’ve just made the call. I’m booked to donate tomorrow at 12:40 p.m. Will you join me?
