Blood! It's in you to donate! :)

I'm a scardy cat too so don't worry, and I also have never donated blood before. BUT, walk by central square sometime this week and you just might spot me standing in line to donate some blood!

Blood services are visiting York University this week, and I am encouraging ALL to donate (as long as you fit the requirements of course)!

They are going to be here November 22 from 11am-4pm and then November 23 11am-1pm in the BEAR PIT (located in Central Square near Scott Library)

Requirements for donating:
- Must be at least 17 years old
- Weigh at least 110 lbs
- Be in good health (don't try donating blood when your getting through a flu!)
- Must NOT have had a tattoo or piercing done in the last 6 months
- Check out other information and requirements on the Canadian Blood Services website

So do you fit the requirements? THEN GO DONATE, and tell me how it goes :)

Until Next Time, I'll be Yorking Around,
