Amazing Story

Dean knows how important it is to give blood

About 3 years ago I saw a story on TV about a little part-Maori boy who passed away because there was no bone marrow of his type. So I thought if I could save one person by being a donor it could save a whanau from the heartache of losing a loved one so I signed up the next day. I so happy that the little bit of blood I donate helps to save lives. As William Penn said I expect to pass through this life but once. Therefore, if there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do for another human being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.
