Donating Blood is an easy thing to do with multiple benefits for Cancer Patients & a whole range of other people from surgical patients to accident victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A single donation can help up to 3 patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directory of Blood Services<\/strong><\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out your local one for more information & drop in to make donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are number of reasons some people cannot give blood so why not organise a blood drive at your work\/school\/club instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to donate blood but then got a blood cancer so I can\u2019t anymore so I set up CAPS to provide other people with the information to make a blood donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t take to long & most places give you a drink, cookies & a cool sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a blood cancer sucks & the chemo sucks even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed a single blood transfusion as part of my treatment so I am grateful to the person that made that donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also needed over 10 doses of platelets so I am extra grateful to all the people who donated blood to provide that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further more I needed a stem cell transplant which required some awesome work by the New Zealand Blood Service to collect my blood over two 6 hour sessions then do a bunch of testing & processing before freezing the good stems cells for a transfusion a few weeks later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time you make a blood donation know that someone is saying a big Thank You \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time you make a blood donation let the world know on your social media \u2013 use the hashtag #saygiddayCAPS \u2013 you are a HERO !!<\/p>\n\n\n
