Rachel: 'Donating is the one way I can save a life in this crazy world'

NZ Blood 300+ Donor 13.06.12 26
My Grandad used to donate blood and he was always very proud of telling me how many donations he had done and that is how I got into donating. I'm now at 30 donations and one time I remember I had low Iron and couldn't donate for 6 months - I was soo upset as I felt like I was letting people down.

It's the one way I can save a life in this crazy world.
