Why Kirsty donates

Kirsty Smith 1st Ham
I have donated whole blood three times and I've just done my first donation of plasma. I donate blood and plasma to save lives because I have got special blood, 0+ blood. I can donate blood up to 4 times a year and I will keep doing donations until I get to the age when you have to stop. I want to share my story to say to other kiwis to donate blood or plasma because it saves kiwi lives who have the same blood type you have got.
