Dear Blood Donor,
Can you believe it, we’re almost halfway through the year already? June is a very exciting month for us as it is National Blood Donor Month! This month we celebrate you, our valued and remarkable blood donor, and local hero.
We hope that our ‘hero’ campaign message will encourage our donors and new donors to unleash their inner hero. We are continuing to give donors a pair of hero-inspired WCBS-branded socks every time you successfully donate a unit of blood until August. Each month you will see a different design, remember it is while stocks last.
In this edition, we will look back at a blood grouping campaign we did in March, we celebrate our own hard-working heroes and showcase how we participated in Slipper Day, we also shed light on what haemophilia is. Catch our winter hero’s guide to blood donation and be sure to read Toni Erasmus’ article: From fear to empowerment – how some donors overcame certain barriers to blood donation.
We hope this edition of Blood Buzz inspires you, and be sure to let us know what you think of our newsletter. Once again, thank you for donating blood and saving lives. You are truly remarkable.
Stay warm, stay safe.
Yours in blood donation,
Marike
