🩸 In London, @GiveBloodNHS needs more blood donations to help patients in need. Recently, Michelle (@runnersvantage) donated her 17th pint of blood in south west London. She said: “A lot of people have anxiety about the needles. I promise you, I used to be so scared of needles, but once it goes in it’s not painful. “It’s for an amazing cause and it’s super quick, I popped in on my lunch break from work. If you’ve ever thought about it or wanted to, now is the right time. You can save up to three lives.” 💉 Donors from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are 10 times more likely to have blood types needed to treat people living with sickle cell disease. If you’re from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background, help save lives by becoming a #LonDonor.
