Speaker 2: Blood type, the gift that you could be giving someone

Speaker 2: else is in fact the gift of life.

00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 4: And that gift of life is fairly quick, fairly painless,

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 4: and you get an amazing like rush like feeling at

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: the end, and you walk out of there feeling you know,

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: so much taller.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

24
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: So last week I spoke to a young man called

25
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: Jacob who was in a terrible car accident a few

26
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: years ago, and he required seventy liters of blood to

27
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: survive that which is about seventy donations, and that I

28
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: think is what many of us think, that if we

29
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: donate blood, that's where it goes to people who are

30
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: having surgeries, who are in car accidents. But in fact

31
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: our blood goes far and wide and can help so

32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: many different people with so many different needs.

33
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Jason, including an amazing twelve year old girl. I had

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: the pleasure of meeting Nobally. This hit home pretty hard

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: for Meeks. I've got a twelve year old boy myself. Actually,

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Novally was diagnosed with LAKEMI. She's an amazing little girl.

37
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: She was five years old and in prep at the time.

38
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: She began treatment, which went on for a couple of years,

39
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: and then how's this relapsed on her very last day

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and treatment had to begin all over again. Then eighteen

41
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: months in she relapsed again. It's been a bloody tough

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: run for this poor little girl. Ended up in the

43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: ICU a few times with life threat in complications. She

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: is now in remission. She's very busy, very active, and

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: just an amazing little girl that I brave.

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: Yeah she is, and I got the chance to meet

00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: of yourself.

101
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 6: Well, growing up in the hospital, I learned to talk

102
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 6: to a lot of adults.

103
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,080

00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 5: I'm a bit worried about my job.

108
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 6: You're listening to Nova.

109
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Okay, stop now you're doing too good. All right, I'm

110
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: now I'm worried. That is the extremely adorable twelve year

111
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: old and nov Lea. As I mentioned, she's survived lakemia

112
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: three times. And the reason we're bringing a gorgeous little girl

113
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: is to highlight the importance of blood donation.

114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: People think it just goes to people who have been

115
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: in accident.

116
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 5: Honestly, los I was one of those people.

117
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the percentage of blood donations that actually just

118
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: go to like car accidents and stuff like that is

119
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: extremely small. She had to go through more than one

120
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: hundred blood transfusions. There you go, so you really are

121
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: saving lives.

122
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: It helps women who have complications with pregnancy, people who

123
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: have been in accidents, people battling cancer, which.

124
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: I think it's an important thing highlight at the moment.
