Mobile Blood Donor Van - Mon, Tues & Wed 20th-22nd September 2010 9:00am -4:00pm

If you, or one of your loved ones, have ever needed blood, you already know how important it is.

Many people today would not be alive if it wasn't for Australia's generous and voluntary, unpaid blood donors who give blood each week to help those in need.

It's one of those things that we just expect to be there for us, but only a very small proportion of people (one in 30) actually give blood. Yet sooner or later, one in three of us will need it.

People who give blood are united by their generosity and the desire to give something back to the community.
