"Donating blood is one of the things I can do to 'do good.' With so many unimportant activities consuming our days, it’s great to be able to really help others."
“I donate because it’s a random act of kindness and I enjoy doing things like that. John Wooden, former basketball coach of UCLA, said something like 'You can’t have a perfect day unless you give something to someone who will never be able to repay you.'”
