While many Canadians are on the hunt for the Easter Bunny this coming holiday season, the Greater Sudbury Kinettes, in partnership with Canadian Blood Services, is on the hunt for more blood donors.
“More than half of all Canadians will either need blood themselves or will know someone that does,” Jeanine De Gagne of the Greater Sudbury Kinettes, said in a release. “Leading up to the Easter holidays is especially a difficult time for blood collections so we are inviting Sudbury and area residents to join us in supporting Canada’s lifeline by making a commitment to donate.”
The Kinettes have adopted the Sudbury Donor Centre the week of April 15 and are also hosting a special in-honour donation on Thursday, April 18, from 3 to 7 p.m. for the Johns family.
In 2018, Olivia John was diagnosed with Rhesus Alloimmunization. Since birth, Olivia has had blood work done twice a week, and has needed one blood transfusion as she turned a month old.
