Laura Murphy : Why blood donors matter


Listen Later

Topics covered : Leukaemia, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplant, pregnancy, birth story, positive mindset, exercise, faith, gratitude.  


This episode is in partnership with giveblood.ie — a service that truly saves lives.


I speak with Laura Murphy, whose husband Dave was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia eleven years ago.

Throughout his treatment, he needed multiple blood transfusions and a bone marrow transplant — and the most difficult time of all came when Laura was pregnant with their son.

Together, they’ve faced enormous challenges, but today, Dave is thriving, and they’re soaking up family life with their three-year-old, Joshua.

Their story is one of resilience and deep gratitude for the donors who made his recovery possible.

Míle buíochas.
