Vital donations in the blood
A MOTHER and her daughter both marked 100 blood donations each last week.
Lynette Griffiths and Jodie Griffiths-Hayes made the milestone donations at Lifeblood Caulfield and Lifeblood Frankston. GriffithsHayes said the timing was a “wonderful coincidence”.
“I started donating when I was 16 after mum took me to one of her appointments and realised it’s just so easy,” she said, “Apart from taking breaks for four children, I’ve always made time for my donations.”
Lifeblood spokesperson Elle Giles has encouraged others to take inspiration from the mother-daughter duo and donate themselves. “One blood donation can save up to three lives, so together Lynette and Jodie have saved an incredible 600 lives over the years. They are superheroes,” Giles said. “While 100 donations are not possible for everyone, the good news is every single donation counts. We are so grateful for every donor.”
The Lifeblood Frankston Donor Centre is at 20 Davey Street in Frankston. Book an appointment at 13 14 95.
