Lifeblood is coming to Uncle Toby’s Wahgunyah from Tuesday, August 12 to collect blood for the one in three people across the region who need it the most.
The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood needs 100,000 new donors each year just to keep up with demand.
How many times have you heard yourself say that your really should give blood?
Now is your chance.
And age is no barrier; you’re never too old to give blood.
Lifeblood is hoping to get a lot of visitors and spread the word that they are coming across the community.
Getting the word out is as easy as telling all your friends, book a donation time and then pat yourself on the back.
Local legends are more important than you could ever guess.
By spreading the word out in your backyard, you give life and hope to so many people across Australia.
If you’re a donor, or any of your colleagues are, don’t forget to book in beforehand online at www.lifeblood.com.au, on the app, or on 13 14 95.
