Hey all :)
I'd just like to say a quick thank you to all who have been donating lately, it means a lot to me.
By the way anyone is welcome to contact me for more information about this cause via the facebook group or my e-mail address kr7937@gmail.com.
Reminder: Carry on donating :) and tell all your friends about the facebook group and this blog.
My goal is to get 100 new donors during this year of 2009.

A message from the Founder! - to appear above normal contents!
"I have a rare blood disease, Sideroblastic Anaemia.
In late 2007 my condition got worse, and I had to start regular blood transfusions in early 2008 which I will need every 3 weeks for the rest of my life.
I was born in 1991 and diagnosed in 1993, at the age of 2.
For the first 16 years of my life I managed to cope with life. I couldn't do a lot of physical activity or anything like that because of the disease which caused me to not get enough oxygen but I lived a mostly normal life.
In 2007 my condition started to deterioate, I couldn't walk up the stairs to my classes, I was extremely tired all the time (so much so that some days I couldn't even go to school) and several times I felt like I was going to pass out.
So eventually in 2008 I went on blood transfusions. I require 3 units of blood every 3 weeks. It makes a massive difference in my life and enables me to live normally.
I am just one of many persons who need blood.
So I appeal to you all to go out there today and start donating blood!
Every bit is needed :) Kari Reynolds
