Amazing Story

Margaretha has donated nearly 50 times

blood donor
I started donating 20 years ago as it was something I had always wanted to do. My husband is not allowed to donate as he still has antibodies from contracting malaria when we lived in Africa, so I'm taking (or rather, giving) one for the team. It is so easy to do, only takes a few minutes out of a busy day, and the chocolate biscuits at the end are always a bonus. I'm close to 50 donations now and intend to go on as long as I can.
