Blood donation – why you must donate

I’d just like to start with a question (before I get down to convincing you to donate): what will a blood donation cost you?

Seriously!! What will a donation cost you? It isn’t money that you can not afford. It isn’t wealth that you inherited and might not be in a position to give away.

Donating blood is a simple, less costly, act that can save somebody’s life.Our bodies keep generating blood and as old cells die out, new cells develop. Once an individual loses blood, the body regenerates the lost quantity. Your body can still function properly even after you donate a bottle of blood.  And the best part is that you would not even feel fatigue or tiredness after a blood donation if you are a healthy individual. (And if you are not a healthy individual, you anyways wouldn’t be allowed to donate by the healthcare experts present around the camp ;))

There are many interesting articles about the subject - How an individual can feel  a personal satisfaction after donating. While you are capable of re-generating the blood that you donate, somebody else who is critically ill or has had a almost-fatal accident can not. And YOU can save his or her life. That is certainly a wealthy contribution that we can make to society.

I’ll share one of the interesting medical videos here. This has Olympic winner, Vijendra Singh supporting the campaign. Take a look!
