<p>On the 6th August 2011 I am planning on jumping out of an aeroplane from 10,000ft and free falling for 5,000ft at 120mph to raise money for Pet Blood Bank UK.</p> <p><a title="Pet Blood Bank UK" href="http://www.petbloodbankuk.org/" target="_blank">Pet Blood Bank UK</a> is a charity which provides a national canine blood bank open to all UK veterinary practitioners and they are in the process of developing a feline blood bank too&hellip;</p> <p>Just like the human blood service, Pet Blood Bank collects blood from donors at organised collection sessions.&nbsp; The blood is taken to a state of the art processing unit in Loughborough and is then processed into packed red blood cells and fresh plasma and supplied to veterinary practices across the UK.</p> <p>This means vets have blood products on hand when they need it most to provide transfusions during surgery or to treat major traumas and disease.</p> <p>I work behind the scenes for <a title="NKR Veterinary Specialists" href="http://www.nkrvets.co.uk" target="_blank">NKR Veterinary Specialists</a> and have seen first hand pets being saved by our vets having these products to hand. I know this would be echoed by all the vet practices that use PBB.</p> <p>There is no doubt that Pet Blood Bank UK provides a life saving service for sick and injured pets.<br />If you have a pet, then you may require their service one day. Please donate generously and help give a beloved pet a second chance.<br />Thank you so much!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't forget, you can text your donation, but texting 'JUMP55 &pound;1' to 70070. Texts are free and you can make the &pound; any amount you wish!</p>
