Today at the donor centre we had a recipient come in to share his story and express his immense gratitude to the donors and staff❤️
Marcel was diagnosed earlier this year with an uncommon and extremely aggressive form of lymphoma, and after a difficult start, he has now successfully completed chemotherapy 🎗️
During his treatment, there was a critical period when he desperately needed blood to keep him here today. The nurses and doctors knew exactly what to do, but none of it would have been possible without blood being available when he needed it. Marcel says he never truly understood just how many ways donated blood and blood products could be used, or the incredible impact donors have
He wanted people to know that donors who give their time and blood really do matter — to him, they are selfless heroes who helped save his life. His wife has since started donating blood too, as a way of giving back🩸
Marcel brought in some yummy treats in appreciation for those who saved his life !
