Just watched a really powerful interview with Izzeldin Abuelaish on Piers Morgan Uncensored about the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I read his book ‘I Shall Not Hate’ some years ago. He is such an inspiration. Peace is possible. It will just take more people to think like him.

I made another blood donation last week, and today I got a text from Giveblood to say my donation had been issued to Waterford Hospital. It's nice to know that it's been used. It's a bonus to think that some Déise person is now saying "these blaas are pure daycent, like"! 😄

I made another blood donation on Tuesday, and I just heard from Giveblood that my donation was issued to Letterkenny Hospital, which shows how urgent the need is. If anyone is considering becoming a donor, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s such a rewarding experience.

Blood donation number six in the bag…literally as well as metaphorically! Thanks as always to the staff of Giveblood for making it an enjoyable as well as a rewarding experience.

I got a text the other day from Giveblood to say that my recent donation (number 8) has been issued to Beaumont Hospital. It’s nice to know that someone in need is benefiting from it. Being a blood donor is so rewarding - I can’t recommend it highly enough.
