Francis's story

I met with a bike accident in late 2002. Had to go through a series of operations on my broken leg, I needed 5 units of blood in total which was given to me on no condition by anonymous donors. I just feel in debt to return the favor and have now become a regular plasma donor. Went for my 50th donation, last October.
