Well, if you don’t and you like a semi challenge it might be the time to start donating blood (or registering to Club Red if you already donate, see more below).
The Red cross is running an NATIONAL EMERGENCY SERVICES CHALLENGE from July through to 31 August 2012.
This is the first year that the blood challenge has been run nationally so we get to compete against all the other States.
