Giving blood.

Today, I've heard that in Belgium there is a blood shortage (wow, I really don't know if those are the right words). The government is appealing to the population, because if no one gives blood, there may be a big problem in August.

I think giving blood is really important, and that it's a very generous act. I did it twice, I think. I'm so afraid of needles that it was difficult for me, but I'm happy I did, thanks to my friends, who came with me. Maybe my blood already saved someone...

Today, the donation center in my town is open very late, so I'm gonna ask my boyfriend to come with me to give my blood again. My blood group is O, the rarest type. 

Have you ever given blood?

I'm sorry for this text, full of mistakes, but it is a difficult subject for me :p

Here is the article in French, if you wanna read :
