BLOOD
BROTHER Donating blood is something Ray Sutcliffe has done all his adultt life and technology over his lifetime me has changed dramatically. While hile it might take about an hour off his time every couple of weeks helping elping people he’ll never meet, he also so knows at any time, it could bee you on the other end, needingg the donation. During National Blood Donor or Week, Ray’s returned to the Lifeblood Dubbo Donor Centre re to give the gift of life for 276th time, ime, possibly with his eye on that other prize donors receive at the centre; ntre; the best chocolate malt milk-shakes in town.

That wasn’t the reason whyy Ray started donating in the first ery place, but a run-in and recovery ated from cancer keeps him motivated bers today and other family members have followed his lead.
