Burnham-On-Sea blood donor praised for 50th donation milestone

-

A Burnham-On-Sea blood donor has this week been praised for notching up his 50th donation.

Nick Wynn, pictured, was presented with a gold award by the NHS to mark his milestone.

He told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “I feel proud to have donated 50 times and intend to carry on giving as long as I can.”

“I started when my father needed a life-saving operation at the BRI hospital in Bristol. It demonstrated the need for people to give blood.”

“More recently, my brother, Paul Wynn had a heart attack which again reminded me of the importance of giving blood.”

Regular blood donor sessions are held at the Princess Theatre in Burnham’s Princess Street.
