For today’s ‘Milestone Monday’ we’re celebrating Bruce, who recently hit donation number 300!
Bruce was kind enough to share his photo and story with us in the hopes that he would inspire even one person to donate for the first time.

I am glad to be back @CanadasLifeline donating blood 🩸.
September 12 marks the first day I am eligible to donate after meeting my husband almost 18 years ago.
Thank you to everyone who worked to overturn the ban on donations from gay men 🏳️🌈.

Let's set the record straight! I didn't eat all the 🍕 as that promo ended LAST Friday! I did get a decent bleed time of 17.39ml/min. Neil is ✅, it would be awesome if more YQL peeps donated plasma! @neillangevin @gt_racer_ @officebrian @Bouletbe

If you’re not already part of Canada’s stem cell registry, please consider joining – you could save a life. Just ask @DLeBlancNB. He was given, in his own words, “a second life” thanks to the generosity of this young man from Germany. What a great story. cbc.ca/news/politics/leblanc…
