Mnr Germaine van Heerden het op 18 Julie sy 20 ste eenheid bloed geskenk. Hy daag al sy Kollegas van Beatrix Plant om dieselfde te doen. Met een eenheid bloed red jy drie lewens – dis waarom hy `n verskil maak.
One of the most valuable lessons we have learned from this COVID-19 pandemic is that the
gift of good health can be fleeting and we need to cherish it. For some, the remedies for good
health may be complex and for others, they are as simple as receiving a transfusion of blood,
plasma or platelets.
David Porter, who suffers from haemophilia, relies on generous blood donations to stay
healthy. He is one of the people who are benefitting from your selfless acts. “I urge everyone,
please don’t let COVID-19 stop you from donating blood. There are still people who need
blood, including myself and I need it to lead a normal life,” David said.
Millions of people get to live lives full of possibility, with hope and happiness because of selfless
blood donors. Blood donation is one of the easiest ways to practice active citizenship and
change the lives of others. Moreover, it is something you can continue to do every 56 days.
Let us continue to work together to ensure that life-giving blood gets to those who need it.
Be a hero, and bleed for Madiba this #Mandela Day – it’s in your blood.
