During the January school holidays one of our players, who has been with North Rocks since minis, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Brian is currently in the hospital battling this terrible illness. One of the critical needs for patients with AML is regular blood, plasma, and platelet transfusions.
Covid-19 has led to a chronic shortage in blood donations and current blood bank stocks are very low. Getting life-saving transfusions for Brian is a constant struggle, with the hospital at times having to manage critically low supplies and in some cases having no stock available.
We are asking the rugby community to help Brian, and the many people relying on blood donations for the gift of life, to donate blood to the Australian Red Cross urgently.
The Australian Red Cross offers Lifeblood Teams, where people can donate blood either individually, or in small groups, and by quoting the team name, the team’s donations are tallied.
Brian’s team is called “Brian’s Warriors”. Please call 131495 or visit donateblood.com.au to make an appointment to donate blood, plasma, or platelets, don’t forget to join Brian’s team so your donation is captured in his tally.
Your donation will not only help to save lives, but it will also give this special 13-year-old boy and his family much needed hope and support as they watch the tally grow.
