Give the Gift of Blood this Christmas – Damien Molony continues to inspire fan donations
Give Blood NHS, The national blood donation agency in the UK, are appealing for blood donors this Christmas.
For thousands of people this Christmas, the only gift they want is the gift of blood. Do something amazing and give the gift only you can give.”
The issue of blood donation is also close to Damien’s heart.
Since giving blood for the first time in July 2012 our favourite actor has been successfully encouraging legions of his Twitter followers to do the same, ‘Re-Tweeting’ the ‘post-donation’ photos sent to him by fans.
Check out all seven of Damien’s blood donations below.

Damien Molony (@damienmolony) July 15, 2014The message has been embraced by the Damien Molony fandom, many of whom have been inspired by Damien to make their first blood donations, or been reminded to donate again.
In recent weeks, Damien has ReTweeted the following from fans, just a tiny handful of the huge numbers of ReTweets he has made over the past two years!
