I always wanted to give blood but it wasn't until I had saw with my own eyes how truly important it is to a person did I act. My Dad needed many blood transfusions as he was fighting cancer this year. I saw how much better he was after the transfusions and I needed to give back. I just received my first email from the Red Cross after donating for the first time. It said where my blood actually went. It brought me to tears to see I could actually help someone and to give back in the name of my Dad who lost his battle with cancer. I plan on donating whenever I can,
