In July, the mayor of Caudry Frédéric Bricout, « saddened »By the low blood reserves, had decided to offer cinema tickets to all those going to donate blood in Caudry for Le Millenium. One for regular donors, and even two places for new donors.
An initiative that seems to have worked, since 17 first-time donors presented themselves on July 24 for the collection, against 8 to 10 usually, to which are added ” a dozen donors who had not come for a long time », Underlines Michel Ruquois, secretary of the association of blood donors of Caudry. In total, nearly 140 cinema seats were offered.
A call to young people
The operation is repeated on Monday 23 August, because, as Michel Ruquois underlines, “ we can only give every two months “. He recalls that the reserves are ” at its lowest, there is an urgent need. »
Out of 100 French people able to donate, only 4 move, according to the French Blood Establishment. “
Young people must be stimulated, because everyone can be touched », Insists Michel Ruquois. As a reminder, a blood drive takes place every month in Caudry.
