Given 47 units so far! The needle thing isn't too much of a problem if you don't look!! Its the drop of blood they get from your finger thats worse!! Anne

I've been giving blood on and off for the past 12 years. I had to stop when I had a tattoo done, then again when I had my nose pierced and again after a miscarriage. It's handy for knowing what blood group you are! lol It's a very worth while cause. Naomi x

I wish I could give blood, but I've been told by the blood donor unit that because I take drugs for epilepsy, I need to keep my blood. How possessive of me, eh, lol. Hubby gives blood, though. I salute you all, you luverly people. Glenys x

linda i am very needlephobic but if a person was placed in front of me i would do it.i think if people where faced with it then more would give blood just like organ donors.to see someones life saved when they could have died would be so rewardingxxx(:
