Give yourself a good birthday present: Give blood

If you find yourself having another birthday and enjoying it in good health, there's a way you can really celebrate the good fortune that brought you that happy circumstance: donate blood.  Here at LOVESalem HQ, I've lost count of how many birthdays and holidays I've celebrated that way -- approaching 20 gallons donated by now (yep, it's been a lot of birthdays!), but I was pleased to have the health to be able to give a double red cell donation today.

When you give blood on a special day, you are likely making that a really special day for someone else -- the day where you got to save a life by giving something that is invaluable and that no amount of money can replace.
