The Red Cross’s “Red25” is a life-saving
social responsibility program where
groups around Australia unite to save
lives through blood donation.
Together, Red25 members work
towards ensuring that 25% of Australia’s
blood donations are secured.
Unfortunately, through her
experience, we learned as
a family that there are often
shortages of blood products
critical to the recovery of patients
suffering from cancer and other
illnesses. This stems from the fact
that 1 in 3 people will need blood
or blood products in their lifetime
– yet only 3 percent regularly
donate blood! Holly wanted to
see that change.
The Butcher Family invites you to join its
Red25 group, which is called doin’ it
for Holly. To join, visit https://www.
donateblood.com.au/red25 or visit
your local Red Cross donation centre.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Like Holly said, you gain more
in this life through giving. If you
are able, consider giving blood –
this is critical. You will feel good,
save lives and buy precious time
for families like ours. After all, it
could be you one day.
