Understanding the meaning of the blood
donation movement, Ms. Hong Thu actively participated in blood donation
activity. For many years, whenever the Voluntary Blood Donation Committee of
Luong Son District organized blood donation day, Ms. Thu registered to
participate the event. Ms. Hong Thu said: Many people keep saying that blood
donation will affect health but each time I came to donate blood, I found that
my health is still very good. Even each time I gave a blood donation, I was
given a free health examination from my blood pressure checkup and this could
also help me diagnose some diseases soon after doing some tests before donating
the blood. In addition, the doctors and nurses confirmed that blood donation
can help prevent diseases caused by excessive iron such as cancer, heart
disease.
Ms. Hong Thu not only gave many voluntary
blood donations, but she also became an active volunteer of the Red Cross to
propagate for voluntary blood donation movements. The propaganda and
mobilization of Ms. Thu is very special. In addition to sharing the meaning of
participating in blood donation with relatives, friends, Ms. Thu also
propagated by her own action. Since the first volunteer blood donation movement
in 2000, Ms. Thu has donated blood for 32 times and will continue to donate
blood to bring the opportunity and hope of living for the patients.
