The Welsh Blood Service are looking to inspire runners from amateur through to professional, from all across the country to help promote blood donation through ‘Giving Runs in Your blood’. This is a campaign created alongside two of the biggest national running organisations, us at Welsh Athletics and Run 4 Wales.
Whether you’re a veteran at your local running club or just digging your trainers out of the back of the cupboard, you can get involved by following one of the Welsh Blood Services heart-shaped routes, which are spread across several Welsh communities, leading you to your nearest blood donation session.
Blood donations play a vital role in saving lives each day, with donations supporting a range of treatments from helping accident victims or patients with blood cancers to helping mothers and newborn babies during childbirth.
