National Blood Donor Week

11th-17th September 2006 is National Blood Donor week.

On Saturday 16th September approximately 500 blood donors came together to be awarded on their milestone of donating blood from 100 to 350 times. In style they were thanked and congratulated , at the Hilton in Brisbane City by noteables from Australian Red Cross blood services. Alexis a blood recipient was one of three recipients that presented their story and thanked donors for their wonderful gift. They truly are heroes as they came to the recipients and thanked them for their story as most said how reassuring it was to listen to a recipient of their gift. It's was just part of their routine of which they kept up through out the years.
