A meeting with generosity in which the aim is to surpass the previous record of 168 bags.

A challenge that is not unreasonable, considering that the people of Guadalajara have widely shown their spirit of loyalty and generosity when it comes to donating blood.
Not in vain, in the first nine months of this year, the 3,906 unitsand 12 percent more regarding the 3,368 bags of blood achieved in the same period of 2023.

In addition, according to Redondo, the requirements necessary to become a donor are very accessible. “As long as we are over 18 years old and under 65, although sometimes we are over 65 years old, if your health is good and you have been a regular donor until now, you can also donate blood to give “explained, concluding, therefore, “Almost everyone, over the age of 18, with a reasonable state of health, can donate blood”while, it goes over the 50 kilos pressure and does not suffer disease is not blood borne.
It is worth knowing that men can donate blood every three months and women every four, in addition before they are taken out it is necessary to fill out a questionnaire and go through blood pressure level tests, pulse and hemoglobin.
But, without a doubt, the most motivating information for a donor is to know that “with a bag of blood, with one donation, we can save up to 3 lives”Redondo has pointed out, without forgetting, moreover, “We are going to generate a state of happiness, producing oxytocin, which is going to be just as good for us as drinking a chocolate bar.”
As if these were not enough reasons to decide to go to the CMI this Wednesday to donate our vital beer, we have to add that the Department of Culture of the City Council of Guadalajara will be collecting tickets among the participants so they can access different shows.
