Be a Hero on and off the Track! Are you running the Belfast City Marathon on Sunday 3rd May 2026? Why not raise blood donations in your local community as part of your sponsorship? 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

You can make the difference in someone’s life, giving them a change to maybe participate in future Marathons. Let’s turn those red cells into real-life heroes. 🩸🦸‍♂

NI needs 1 blood donor roughly every 8 mins. Every blood donation saves 3 lives. 🩸❤️

👉 Send us a DM if you are running the marathon and would like more information on how to raise blood donations as part of your sponsorship?

"I'm scared of needles, so I can't donate."

Most people with a fear of needles still donate successfully!

❤️ Our staff are trained to help nervous donors
❤️ The needle is only there for about 5-10 minutes.
❤️ You'll be distracted with friendly chats, biscuits, and juice 🍪🧃

You're stronger than your fear - and your donation saves lives!
