Films like this that show the stories behind the numbers are so powerful. What an opportunity to make such a difference to someone’s life. Please give blood if you can.

[Monika Parkinson @DrMonikaP]

@saevargustavss It is a little like a death wish on some days. But you will pick up so many skills, and meet so many talented and inspiring people. Go for it!
