give blood. give life.

This is an appeal for more blood donors and coz i'm too lazy to retype, i shall just copy over directly what i've posted on my school's forum page.

The Singapore Blood Bank@HSA is currently facing a blood shortage. All blood types're needed. As long as you're over 16 years of age, weigh more that 45kg for females and 50kg for males, do check out this questionaire to see if you're eligable to donate blood.

If you have any other enquiries that you need answered with regards to donating blood, you can drop me a message or look for me, Shuyun from 06S09 and i'll try my best to answer you.

Ps. With regards to the common myth, no, you do not put on extra weight when you donate blood. The body only replenishes the amount of blood that is lost.

Anyway, volunteers are still needed for telerecruitment, and in the distribution of posters and bookmarks at various MRT stations this Saturday(21st January) and Sunday (22nd January) to encourage the public to come down to the Blood Bank to donate blood. You can contact Sharon by email at sharon.lai@redcross.org.sg or contact her or her colleagues at 62200183.

Much thanks. =)
