How much money would it take, to interrupt your busy schedule? You may agree if you could sleep, or do this or that.
Imagine if you not only had to give of your time, you had to give up something.
You may not want to do this at all.
But what if this were worded differently? Would you like change the world and to save up to 3 lives? That is what you could do by sitting still for 15 minutes to an hour.
What you give is blood.
Yes, you may need to rest after.
Many people only need a short rest and are able to get back to normal schedule.
Some people need to take it easy for a few hours.
If you schedule your donation in the evening you could go to bed early and be back up to normal schedule the next day.

That is quite a few people, and over the course of a lifetime that is several people you know, and it may have been many years ago so you may not know.
If just 1% more people donated blood, blood shortages would disappear for the foreseeable future that is a fantastic way to change the world and make a difference.
How can you save lives? Each unit of blood can be separated into several components which is how you can help save several lives.
