Montret and its surrounding region โคwitnessed a prosperous blood donation drive on Wednesday, September 17th. Geneviรจve Petiot,president of โคteh Association of Blood โDonors Volunteers,reported a strong showing with “55 โpresented,50 donations โฃcollected,and two new โขdonors” joining โขthe ranks.
Among the dedicated donors was Jean-Paul, a 68-year-old resident ofโ Branges, making his remarkable 139th donation. For Jean-paul, giving blood is simply a โคnatural act. โHe consistently donates three to four times aโข year, stating, โค”I am โlucky to be healthy. I come almost whenever there is a collection: the welcome is nice and, in addition, I get โฃto see โคmy friends. We all know a loved one or a family member โฃwho has or will need blood.” He actively encourages those hesitant to donate to experience โฃthe process firsthand before forming an opinion.
Aiming for 150 Donations
Bloodโข is a critical resource, vital for treating over a million people annually in France. โค Jean-Paul intends to continue donating provided that โคhis health permits, aimingโ to reach his limit on the day before โขhis โค71st birthday.โ He hopes toโฃ surpass the significant milestone of 150 donations before concluding โhis โdonating “career.”
