Sabine Fuchs: award for 125 blood donations - an appeal for participation!
In a solemn ceremony, Sabine Fuchs was recognized as a blood donor for her remarkable performance. She received the golden medal of merit with a gold laurel wreath as the highest honor for her 125 thoroughbred donations, which represent a total amount of around 60 liters of blood. This impressive number corresponds about twelve times the total amount of blood that man carries. Born in Munich, with her commitment, shows how important blood donations are for the community.The trip from Sabine Fuchs to donate blood was not a matter of course right from the start. "In my youth I wasn't really interested," she confessed. It was only after her marriage and move to the region that she started to take part in blood donation actions when she took place nearby. But a personal stroke of fate fundamentally changed their perspective and motivated them to become more active. Her experience in the hospital, when her mother needed blood transfusions after an accident, shaped her deeply. Although this was not the decisive reason to donate more often, she became aware of the need for donating blood.
commitment and expansion of donation activities
After the death of her husband Franz in 2007, Sabine decided to significantly intensify her commitment. She began to expand the radius for her donation requests to the entire Rohrbach district and regularly visited blood donations. Even the regulation that people over the age of 65 can only donate in the presence of a doctor did not stop them from finding out about the relevant events. "The blood donation is my contribution, I am not otherwise active on a voluntary basis, but I have enough blood," emphasized Fuchs.
For them, blood donations are not only a duty, but a personal contribution to society. She also puts an appeal that older people stay active and donate blood. It is particularly important to her to address the existing regulation on age discrimination, as it will be 70 in the coming year, which, according to the blood donation law, means the end of her donation activity. "I can't understand why you can no longer donate due to age," said Fuchs.
support and positive experience in donating blood
Sabine Fuchs also emphasizes the positive experience she has had with her blood donation. It describes the friendly and professional support by the blood -taking teams as extremely important and would like to encourage others to donate too. "Nobody has to be afraid of it, you too!" is your call to all potential donors. Your goal is to raise awareness of the importance of the blood donation and to gain new, potential blood donors.
Currently, about five percent of the population in the Rohrbach district donate blood, and to keep this number constant, those responsible are constantly looking for new donors.
