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

Hey, if you would like to find about more about Sideroblastic Anaemia, what living with it is like, the problems I experience and am currently experiencing, treatment etc.
Then go to my new blog http://sidanaemia.blogspot.com/ which covers all of that and more!
This one is mainly to recruit more people to donate blood whereas the other one is specifically about Sideroblastic Anaemia.

Bye for now, and keep donating :)
