Last week we heard from Casey DeBono from Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. With 12 years of experience, Casey shared how the Lifeblood team works tirelessly to educate and inspire local communities, ensuring a constant and reliable blood supply for those in need.
Some powerful statistics really made us stop and think - only 1 in 30 Australians donate blood, yet 1 in 3 will need it in their lifetime. Every single donation has the power to save lives.
Casey also helped dispel some common myths around donating:
- Many medications don’t prevent you from donating
- Travel or living overseas doesn’t necessarily rule you out
- Even with tattoos, you can donate plasma as soon as the next day
Whether you choose to donate blood or plasma, you are making a real difference.
Saving lives truly starts with you
