Alison's donor story

I started back in the late 90s donating whole blood and after a trip overseas I was asked if I would like to donate plasma. Knowing what the plasma is used for I decided to change to this. So I have been donating plasma since.

Why did I start in the first place? It is something I can do for my community - it doesn't cost anything and it is a good reason to take time out from a busy day. I also love the hot drink and chocolate biscuit while I relax. I encourage anyone to donate. It is simple, the team are lovely and who doesn't enjoy a hot cuppa and bikky for nothing! :)

Thank you to all donors and the team. Keep up the great work.
