Lilly-Anna's story

Share

Lilly-Anna suffers from Diamond-Blackfan anaemia syndrome, a very rare blood disorder that affects people’s bone marrow, preventing her bone marrow from producing enough red blood cells.

Lilly-Anna has been receiving blood transfusions since she was six months old to help her live a healthy life.

Mum Frankie says 'Blood transfusions give Lilly the freedom and the life to be a normal, happy child and to have the energy to match her peers as well.' 

Lilly-Anna's blood group is B Positive and has received regular transfusions over the past five years. If you're a B Positive blood donor, one of your donations could have been an incredible gift for Lilly-Anna, her friends and family.
