Save a life - give blood urges Hawke
Thursday, 30 June 2011
The Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke MP, is encouraging residents throughout the Hills to roll up their sleeves and donate blood.
Mr Hawke himself donated blood today and said that while there was a need to donate blood throughout the year, donors were particularly required during winter.
“Put simply, donating blood saves lives,” Mr Hawke said. “We all know someone who this year will need a transfusion. It could be a family member, a friend, or an acquaintance. It might also be you or me.
“During winter with regular donors suffering colds and flu, supplies can drop to critical levels.
“Those local residents who have previously considered donating blood but have yet to do so, now is the time to contact the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.”
More information about donating blood is available by calling the Australian Red Cross Blood Service on 13 14 95 or by visiting the website: www.donateblood.com.au .
