Amazing Story

Lorraine's still going strong!

NZ Blood WBD 2011 330
I was working as a secretary at Victoria University and the Blood Service van came for donations. I was impressed with the number of young students lining up to donate and thought "I can do this". Have done sporadically ever since. Three pregnancies and subsequent breast-feeding made me ineligible but came back all guns blazing in around 2007 and haven't stopped. 71 years old now and still going strong!
