Yeah, it was quite a few years back, but if I remember rightly he had a very touching card from the parents of the little girl.

Nice one. If it were me, I'd be wearing a cape there after.

I'm giving blood on Monday too, first donation.

Good stuff mate. You might find all the questions a bit bureaucratic - this is a fair summary of the experience:

- but it's all about safety. Enjoy it - it's dead easy and also good for you too.

Boy in my street got leukaemia and needed a transplant so about 1500 people on my town went along to be tested. They managed to find a match and the boy survived. I signed up and also did a 110 mile bike ride last September to raise money for Anthony Nolan.

Costs nothing for you and you could save someone's life. Why wouldn't you?
