The Man Who Saved The Lives Of 2.4 Million Babies

The story of James Harrison is inspiring. The 81 year old has been donating blood for 60 years, prompted by blood transfusions that saved his life when he was 14.

His blood contains the necessary antibodies and is of the right type to prevent HDN, which causes thousands of babies to die in utero every year. Over his sixty years of donations his blood has saved the lives of 2.4 million Australian babies.

Amazing story, tempered only with the news that there are currently on sixty donors worldwide who can carry on the good work.
