All I want for Christmas is you

Thirty-two years ago, Katrina and Brian said I do. The couple from Cupar celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary by giving blood at their local session.

Katrina said, 'Giving blood was the highlight of our day. I called Brian earlier in the week and told him I'd booked us an appointment for our anniversary - we were going to give blood.

'It's so important to give blood, especially at this time of year when everyone is so busy preparing for Christmas. You never know if the day will come when you or your friends or family will need a transfusion, but most of all you are helping others.'

We'd likee to say a massive thank you to Brian and Katrina for spending their special day with the local collection team from Dundee and giving the gift of love this Christmas.

There's still time to book your appointment to give blood this Festive season. We're particularly keen to welcome donors who can donate at donor centres in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. All donor centres are open on Boxing Day, Hogmanay and 2nd January.
