Back in the summer my mum had to have a blood transfusion, or she would have died. So, I wanted to give blood so that other people could have their lives saved. However, when I tried to give before I wasn't allowed to because I'd been to Gambia within 6 months. So, as the 6 month mark passed, I signed up again for my first ever blood donation session! It was really scary when I was there - I was so nervous. But it only felt like an injection, then I couldn't even feel the needle in my arm of the blood coming out! And the nurse let me feel my pack of blood after I did it, which was fun :)
