Amazing Story

Robert's donor story

20180611 224403 1
From a young age my poppa was alway my hero.
Looking at his wall of awards, medals and photos for his years of service to St John, his blood donation certificate showing 76 units of blood donations during his service, and being told storys of the hospital urgently needing blood and having rush to the hospital and donate blood to save lives...
His stories inspired me to donate blood myself. As soon as I was eligible to donate I did, so I could help as many lives as possible and try to match the number of donations he made.
