Amazing Story

Fred's a long time donor

NZ Blood WBD 2011 330
As I waited for my ride home from work, which was Welly Hospital when it was still a building site, at my pickup point the was a sign outside what was the temporary donor centre on Adelaide Road. The sign invited new donors so I went inside to ask if I was eligible, nurse said " yip" i went back the next day with ID and started my Whole Blood, Platelets and Plasma Donation contributions. I don't remember the exact date but the hospital was still a shell but I still go once a month to be harpooned and drained so that others can benefit from what I can share.
