it helps save peoples life.

I recently donated blood, which i have done for over 50 years, knowing that my
blood is going to help the NHS in their treatment of patients receiving it.

The Blood donor service lets you know what happens to your blood donation, with
this last week, I was notified where my blood donation went.

After my donation, my blood was sent to a manufacturing centre in Manchester,
after this my blood went to Tameside General Hospital, where it was used.

Remember ! The NHS will always require blood donations, can you be a donor.
I received over 3 litres during my surgery so I will always be grateful to those that give their blood.

I had donated a couple of times in the uk but brits that lived through the mad cows disease are unable to give blood in France.

Because of the high level of ferritin in my blood I have to have 450cl of blood removed from me on a weekly basis.

This procedure is done at the French federation of blood. It’s often full of donors giving plasma or blood.
Unfortunately you have to have something to eat and drink before you leave and I must say that the choice is superb.

Give if you can. It doesn’t take long and it doesn’t hurt. The benefits for others like myself is life and death. ❤️
