| 1st December 2009-28th February 2010 | Summer Blood Challenge | SE Australia. (ACT, NSW, VIC). |
Call 13 14 95 for a blood bank near you.
web
www.donateblood.com.au
Remember to nominate complete the challenge form provided at the blood bank. |
| It all began in 1979, when the Motorcycle Riders' Association (MRA) issued a challenge to other organisations to give more blood than the state's motorcyclists during the three summer months. The MRA recognised that summer was traditionally a difficult time for the Blood Service, particularly after Christmas. Groups such as the Scout Association and Police Victoria joined in and met the challenge. Today these organisations maintain their support and enthusiasm for the challenge. They have since been joined by over fifty businesses, clubs and government departments, building the Summer Blood Challenge into a well recognised annual community event. | |||
