Like Marleigh, Kylie Miller will be dependant on Intravenous Immunoglobulin Infusion (IVIG) for the rest of her life to treat her Multifocal Motor Neuropathy. She shares her experience of arriving at hospital for her treatment only to be turned away as not enough people had donated blood and her medication wasn't able to me made. This episode gives so much context and meaning to the phrase we hear so often in the media of "critical blood shortage". 

Kylie has gone on to do so many amazing things with her life and make so many contributions to Australian society that would not have been possible without Australian blood donors preserving and improving the quality of her life. She join us today to say thank you.
