Today, I'd like to talk about something: blood. Duh-Duh-Dunnnnn.
No, I don't "vant to suck your blood." This isn't Halloween either, so there's that.
When it comes to the important things in life, one of the most important things is helping others. And I want to help you help others. So, I'm asking, that if you're eligible, you consider donating blood or blood products.
I know some people have a problem with needles, and I completely understand. I know that other people may be ineligible to donate blood.
If you can, I hope that you will seriously consider donating blood.
For me, it's personal. I had a medical epsiode about half a year back, and I needed a whole unit of blood to stay "topside", as they say. Previously to that I had donated blood, and I had been told the name of who that blood went to. A real person. So I know that I helped someone, and you can help someone, yourself or others, too.
In case the "stuff" I'm slinging isn't enough for you, I'd also like to let you know that you can make money off the blood products that you provide. There are companies, such as Grifols, that take your donated blood products, and they give you money in return.
Thanks for listening.
