One of the reasons I’ve remained consistent is for people who are fighting sickle cell disease.
I drop-in so often now that I feel like a part of the family As a former police officer I’ve seen a lot of death in my lifetime – but I’ve also saved a lot of lives, too. Some I saved during the decade I served in the Met, but the majority have been through giving blood. In fact, since I started donating in 1976, I’ve saved more than 450 lives. My decision to donate wasn’t triggered by a specific moment, or life altering news.
These cells can then block blood vessels leading to a number of health issues such as organ damage and strokes. In terms of treatment, many patients need regular blood transfusions to stay alive. Never did I imagine that picking up a leaflet all those years ago would lead me to saving 450 people but I am so glad it did But it’s the Ro subtype of blood that is used and this is 55% more likely to be found in people of Black heritage compared to 2% in other ethnicities.
