BLOOD DONORS

My son Rodd has been donating blood every 2 weeks for years


Every  blood donation can save 3 lives.
 Red blood cells have a shelf life of 42 days.

 Rodd now gives plasma blood which is a very diverse blood component to be used for a wide range of purposes
 Plasma provides life saving treatments for a range of rare, chronic , often genetic diseases,including hemophilia burns, shocks etc.
Clinical fresh frozen plasma- is used to treat patients who have clotting problems, often after trauma or liver transplants

ln Australia blood donors don't get paid for donating their blood
.l admire my son Rodd so much for lining up every fortnight to donate blood especially plasma blood
Such a great charitable service, all you blood donors out there you are truly special.
