Rebels vs Hurricanes blood donor challenge
Family of local recipient encourages donors to support hospital patients
The Red Deer Rebels and Lethbridge Hurricanes kick off 2018 by partnering with Canadian Blood Services to see who can bring in the most blood donations in January. 106.7 The Drive will join the Rebels to promote blood donation as part of this campaign. The local launch of this challenge will be held as the Rebels take on the Moose Jaw Warriors in the first game of 2018.
Local blood recipient Brielle Robichaud and family know the importance of blood donation and encourage residents of Central Alberta to book an appointment to donate in January.
Brielle was diagnosed with a brain tumor (pilomyxoid astrocytoma) at the age of 3. In the three years since then, she has had 6 surgeries, 19 months of chemotherapy, numerous blood transfusions and a lot of time in hospital. Brielle and her family are very thankful for the gift of blood that helped save her life.
