"I wouldn't say it's quite like a superpower but I do think it's amazing that something that you just happened to be born with can help so many people."

Blood stocks are critically low and we urgently need more donations.

You can help whatever your blood type.

A negative donors - we need YOU. Platelet stocks have fallen very low over Christmas and we urgently need donations of your type.🫵

By making the switch to platelet donation, you could make a huge difference to the lives of people with cancer.
