00:01A woman whose blood type is among the rarest in the UK says she feels honoured knowing her
00:06donations can help save lives. 26-year-old Mina Stoddart-Stones is just one of nine donors
00:13nationwide with the same rare blood combination. She says donating is her way of giving back to the
00:18NHS and helping others. Specialists say her blood can be frozen and stored for up to 30 years
00:23at the National Frozen Blood Bank in Liverpool. It can then be used for patients needing closely
00:28matched transfusions, including some people with sickle cell disease. Joanne Matthews, manager
00:35of the National Frozen Blood Bank in Speak, said that meeting Miss Stoddart-Stones was like
00:41meeting royalty.
