Donner du sang / Donate blood

Je vous partage le message de Stéphanie, une amie très inspirante et extraordinaire. 

Depuis 2 ans, le 1^er novembre, elle organise un événement spécial pour son anniversaire dans le but d’encourager les gens à donner du sang et ainsi, permettre de sauver des vies.  Elle pose un geste simple, rempli d’amour, de générosité, de vie et d’espoir. 

Cet automne, Stéphanie travaille en Australie et agira à partir de ce continent ; elle ne sera pas à Montréal mais elle participera! ;)  Peu importe où vous êtes dans le monde, faites comme elle et de nombreux courageux, prenez rendez-vous dès maintenant aux coordonnées indiquées ci-dessous. Vous pouvez faire la différence! :)

Svp appelez et donnez… Donnez la vie!

For my birthday, all I want is BLOOD!

WANTED: 27 people to Donate Blood

REWARD: Giving the greatest gift of all, life!

2 years ago on November 1^st, for my 25^th birthday, I asked for one thing for my birthday…blood! My aim was to recruit 25 people to come donate blood with me on my birthday. My friends and family stepped up to the challenge and so did people from the community. This is how my 25^th birthday party turned into a blood donation party!

This year, for my 27^th, my aim is to recruit at least 27 people who will vow to donate blood in the next month or so, to give the gift of life!

This is my one wish for my birthday. Please help me make it happen!

One blood donation - in just one hour - can save up to three lives.

If 27 people join me to give blood we can save up to 84 lives!

I am currently in Australia and will not be able to organize a blood drive this year, but I will be going to give blood on November 1^st, and I invite you all to make an appointment in the next month to give as well.
