16-year-old Rebecca, from Dalkeith, was run over by a car and spent the next five weeks in hospital. "The accident broke one of my legs and dislocated the other," says Rebecca, "so after my A&E care I needed two major operations." Rebecca received eight units of blood and six of fresh frozen plasma. "I'd like to thank all the donors who were there when I needed them. I'll encourage all my friends to give blood now."
