Give a Pint – Save a Life

Below is a video of a speech I delivered on March 26 2009 as part of a Toastmasters International Speech contest. The theme of the speech contest was to create a unique and inspirational speech. I won at my local club. I took second at the next level.

image My speech is about donating blood. I hope it inspires you to take action. What if you can’t donate? If you watch the video you will learn a few ideas for helping even when you are unable to donate. Every little bit helps.
My speech title is Give a Pint – Save a Life. I hope you like it. If you do please pass it on to inspire a few more people. You will also learn about My Secret by watching the video.

Give a Pint – Save a Life

As mentioned above this speech took second place. However, I hope by watching it you decided to take action and commit to sign up or volunteer at your local blood donation center.

About This Video

This video was edited and re-recorded for the Puget Sound Blood Center using Camtasia by TechSmith. In the hands of an expert Camtasia user I’m sure this video could be cleaned up and made into a much more compelling Inspirational Speech / Video.

Great job Jeff! I have actually never given blood (not sure why)... maybe I will now!

Nice speech, Jeff! Important topic, and a good way to help the community. Thanks for making a good case for it. One of these days, we'll go in together and I'll take you on in blood pumping!
