Amazing Story

Grace's donor story

I first started donating blood because my grandma was going through chemo and radiation, and needed frequent blood transfusions. I remember thinking at the time that if I could give blood I could help someone like my grandma live a better quality of life...if only for a short while. Now I donate blood in memory of my friend Rosy who was a nurse working for NZ Blood.
