CFA volunteer firefighter Bob Goninon has donated close to the equivalent of a 600-litre Ultra Light Tanker with blood and plasma via the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood over 50-odd years.
As Bob recently marked 700 donations, he urged all CFA members across the state – and their friends and family – to roll up their sleeves as part of the Emergency Services Blood Challenge which kicked off on 1 June.
The Challenge, held annually by Australian Red Cross Lifeblood from 1 June to 31 August, encourages friendly competition between emergency service workers to join their team and donate to win the challenge and, more importantly, save lives.
With 1258 blood and plasma donations during the 2020 challenge, CFA members came second to Victoria Police by only 59 donations and are keen to take out top honours this year.
