I wish more people would do this. With all of my travels I usually get turned away but I still try.

yes that the first qustion they ask you have you bee aboard. this be my 3rd time i'm trying to do 99 times

Yeah seems kind of silly because they test the blood before they put it inot circulation so traveling shouldn't be a disqaulification.

I wish I could, but I have an extreme fear of needles. Just getting shots is terrible enough for me, but I once had blood drawn and it was a terrible experience. I am an organ donor, though! So when I die, I'll be able to help people out a bit!

i think it's to do with HIV i think i could be wrong it take while before you know you got it.

i dont like needles but the people who does it are really good becasue they do it everyday.

I've had people miss the vein a few times because they were new. I've gotten used to being poked over the years though.

years ago i went for blood test OMG the bloke took forever to get my vein.

The worst I've had is a young woman that missed 4 times. She was sooo nervous that I actually had to take her hand and walk her through the process so she wouldn't miss again.

i normally go yearly - work are really good as they have a scheme wherewe go in their time!!! time off and for a good cause!!!!

I give blood as often as i can =D i think I've been 3 times so far, im an organ donor too =D i wish more people would give blood. its such a helpful thing to do. My boyfriends mum went in for a hip replacement and ended up needing and emergency transfusion. My best friend would have died giving birth to her daughter had people not given blood. Its worth while. x

I've been giving blood since I was 16 (minimum age) my friends and I used to all go in here and have races to see who could give the fastest, we'd all be laying there trying to get the right motion squeezing the stress ball.

I enjoy giving blood, the nurses here are fun and you always get a free feed afterwards they used to do pizza on a wednesday but don't any more, but cheese and bikkies and apple juice are always good!

I was having surgery once and they tried to put me under with the needle, I had to have seven needles in four different places on my hands and arms because they couldnt get it in the right spot!!! I was only 12 I'm surprised im not afraid of needles!

my next donation is fri 16th Dec
