Indeed! I do donate blood on the regular, so thank you.
And if anyone reading this is in the UK and would like to also donate blood, you can sign up to do so at the wonderfully named website, blood.co.uk. They will also occasionally send you unintentionally(?) hilarious and sinister messages like, ‘The need for blood is rising’.

Good for you! My grandad had some rare blood type that was good for newborn babies (I’m a bit hazy on the details, he’s long dead now) and he gave blood as often as he could as soon as he found out. My mum told me he was a superhero who saved poorly babies when I was a kid and I believed her wholeheartedly!
