January is a Frozen month, so what better way to warm up than a nice hot cup of tea and a biscuit? That's your reward for spending about an hour, potentially saving someone's life by giving blood. At Tooting Blood Donor Centre, it's quick, easy and painless to do so. And GoodGym T-shirt wearing when you do so is optional.

Here's how another of the team got on: I have been meaning to get back into donating blood for donkey's years and have (repeatedly) taken all the steps to do so short of actually making an appointment... Making this a GG January challenge task FINALLY got me over the line. It was easy, didn't take that long, everyone was super friendly, and it's all-you-can-eat popcorn biscuits and squash 😉

Two Goodgymers rendezvoused today with the mission of donating blood. While one successfully made a life-saving contribution (a fantastic 4th time lucky!), the other, unfortunately, celebrated their 300th GoodGym task by being rejected (again!) after their haemoglobin check. Despite the disappointment, the silver lining was: biscuits are still allowed! It just goes to show, sometimes even when things don't go exactly to plan, there's always a sweet reward.
