Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring people to donate.

But I will be encouraging every one else I know to donate and will donate myself as soon as I am able. I have had that many blood tests the past twelve months with my overactive thyroid, it would be good to be giving the blood to someone who needs it and not just to check my thyroid levels. All the best to you Cam. xxChristina Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370046598325657449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191744632248916582.post-75716941724577743322010-12-16T13:48:34.248+11:002010-12-16T13:48:34.248+11:00A brilliant post Cam, and thanks for sharing this....A brilliant post Cam, and thanks for sharing this.<br />You've reminded me I must go back to donating. {I had too stop for a while after having Ross River fever}<br />But it is important for those who can, to do.

It saw me loose half of my liver and have 4 bags of blood transfused. If it wasn't for that special someone donating blood, I would not be here today either.
