Fenprobe's Brian Gowler receives award for giving his 75th pint of blood

Brian Gowler, 60, received an award from NHS Blood and Transport for the milestone donation.

Mr Gowler, who lives in Littleport with his wife, Annie, said: “I started giving blood around 25 years ago I suppose.

“I might be registered disabled but that can’t stop me from helping others and you get such a good feeling when you donate blood. I’d urge everyone to do it if they’re able to.”

Anyone aged between 17-65 and in general good health can potentially give blood. Call 0300 123 23 23 or visit www.blood.co.uk.
