Jan knows the importance of giving blood

I started donating blood in 1974 when I was a student nurse. Working in a hospital at that time it felt like a "public duty" to be a donor. I then had a break from donating as I went overseas and had a family. My partner has over the years had many doses of blood products and as a consequence I restarted donating and when our children turned 16 they all started giving blood as well.

I have been giving plasma on a regular basis for a few years now... I enjoy the team at my local Blood Centre and am made to feel special when ever I go.
