Tell us your story

Donors often tell us that hearing about the recipients they help is one of the biggest motivators to continue giving blood.

The Blood Service would like to hear from anyone who has been helped by donated blood. Maybe it was you or a loved one who received a blood transfusion? It could have been during cancer treatment, surgery, child birth or after an accident, or you might require on-going transfusions to remain healthy and well.

This is your opportunity to thank the selfless, anonymous, volunteer blood donors that ensure there is always blood there for patients in need.

In 200 words or less please tell us your story of how donated blood helped you or a loved one.

We welcome you to attach a photo (optional) to accompany your story.
