Let’s put our blood, sweat and tears into it
Commissioner of Police Ian Stewart rolls up his sleeve
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service’s Queensland Emergency Services Challenge from June 16 to August 15 will see Queensland police, firefighters, paramedics and emergency response workers and volunteers face off to see which service bleeds the best.
With one week left of the competition and police in the lead, Commissioner of Police Ian Stewart rolled up his sleeve and donated this morning.
Commissioner Stewart said he hopes his donation will encourage more police officers and staff to head along to their local donation centre to boost the numbers.
“But if it has another effect of gearing up our competitors at the QAS or QFES, that would be great be too,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“In the end, the real winners will be those who receive the blood.”
“All members of the Queensland Police Service know just how important, and indeed life-saving, blood donations can be.”
“What takes a short amount of time could mean a lifetime for someone else.”
