Light up lives and give blood this Easter (with photo)
******************************************************

    To secure an adequate supply of blood during the coming Ching Ming and Easter holidays, the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) is inviting people to spare a little time to give blood to realise the true meaning of saving lives.

     As a gesture of BTS' appreciation, donors giving blood during the holiday period (April 4 to 11) will be presented with a "Gift Bag of Love" (see photo attached). For service hours of BTS Donor Centres during the holidays, people can call the hotline at 2710 1234 or visit the website at http://www.ha.org.hk/rcbts.

     People who are aged from 16 to 65, weighing more than 41kgs and are healthy, can be a blood donor. Male donors aged 18 or above can give blood every three months and female donors can give every four months. Young people aged 16 or 17 can donate blood every six months.
