THE people of Worcestershire are being called on to give blood over the Christmas season.
Sports presenter Gabby Logan has joined the campaign urging residents to give up their time to give blood.
The daughter of the former footballer and ex-Wales manager Terry Yorath has spoken about her blood transfusion.
"During the birth of my twins earlier this year I lost 40 per cent of the blood in my body," she said.
"I had to have a seven-pint blood transfusion. Without those selfless blood donors out there, I simply would not have survived to see my beautiful twins grow up."
Existing donors can give blood up to three times a year. to register as a new donor call the national donor helpline on 08457 711711 or visit www.blood.co.uk.
