A call has gone out for more male blood donors. It turns out that male blood is crucial for the eye drops needed to control a rare eye condition. Sjogren's Syndrome is an auto-immune disease which can have several effects including aggravating already dry eyes. We'll hear from someone with Sjogren's Syndrome and an expert on the condition. And we meet Melissa Reid - a gold medal winning triathlete who now has become a champion surfer too. Presenter: Peter White. Producer: Mike Young.
