 I'm Kylie. I'm a firefighter and secretary at the Linda Montagueeta Fire Brigade. Last year I needed three units of red cells. I was severely anemic and it was my only option for treatment. Prior to having the blood transfusion I was really really fatigued, low energy, getting short of breath when I was just sort of doing very little strenuous activity, having irregular heart rates. In stopping me doing sort of a lot of things that I really wanted to do, I'd really encourage anyone who can donate to get out there and do it. There's so many people who can't donate for various reasons and you just never know when you or someone you love may need blood products. People like myself who use blood products are so grateful to to those of you that can donate and do donate.
