Five police Local Area Commands (LAC) will start a lifesaving blood drive just in time to help combat a traditional drop-off in donor numbers this winter. Superintendents from Mt Druitt, St Mary’s, Hawkesbury, Blue Mountains and Penrith Local Area Commands will donate blood to launch the 2017 Emergency Services Blood Challenge. The Challenge runs from June 1 to August 31 and is part of the Emergency Services Blood Drive, a national initiative that sees groups vie for the highest blood count. Nationally, they will aim to make 8,500 donations, potentially saving 25,000 lives.
To donate blood this winter, please call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au
