Special Blood Donor Clinic Today For 5 Year Old

By giving blood today, you will help boost the supply over the Holidays and lift the spirits of a sick 5-year-old.
Today's clinic is in honour of Blake Matthews who is battling a brain tumour and using blood products as part of his treatment.

Amanda Cullen of Canadian Blood Services tells CHSJ News they are 400 donations away from meeting December's target.

She says for people who are ill, the date on the calendar doesn't matter so, they won't to encourage people to donate blood this Holiday season.

The C-B-S offices in Millidgeville will have a superheroes theme in honour of Blake's clinic today. It gets underway at 11 this morning and runs until 8 tonight.

To book an appointment, call 1-888-2-DONATE or drop by Canadian Blood Services at 405 University Avenue.
