O positive blood
You're outstanding...we need you to stay that way
Because your blood group is O Rh positive, you are especially important. Around
37% of the population share your group, but what makes you even more important
is that, if necessary, your blood can be given to anyone who is Rh positive
(regardless of their blood group) - and that's a staggering 83% of people.
So your blood can help eight out of every ten hospital patients, whether
they're mothers and new-born babies, people being treated for cancer, or
having planned operations like a hip replacement. And because your blood
is so versatile it's vital that you continue to give on a regular basis.
You can give blood three times a year, so please be sure to keep up your
outstanding work, every four months if you possibly can.

in the family she has already enlisted her two sons.
