Celia M. ~ Living My High Heeled Life: Canadian Blood Donor Week 2014

Celia M. - HHL Opens the Toronto Market ...

This week is Canadian National Blood Donor Week, for those who have long time readers of HHL you already know that it was because of the generousity of blood donors that I am here today! - it took over 54 units of blood to save me. It was a real honour to help TMX Group launch Canadian National Blood Donor Week as new members of the Partners For Life program!!!

It was a great turn out! Thank you to all the organizations who were in attendance and support Canadian Blood Services through Partners For Life program!

Approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. In fact, according to a recent poll, 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment.

Note : (One unit of blood is the equivalent to one donation)

Many blood donors have told us that a family member inspired them to start donating. Share who inspired you to give with your extended Canadian family, use #families4blood when you do.

Are there organizations like Canadian Blood Services where you live?

I encourage everyone no matter where you live in the world - to please donate blood!

With Blessings and Gratitude,
