Bring back the red

The Sydney Swans have donated their red.

On Friday 11 April, The Bloods ran onto Adelaide Oval in a special white Gather Round guernsey.

Our partners, the Sydney Swans, have joined forces with us to raise awareness of the need for more blood donors during the colder months.

Bring back the red and donate blood this footy season.
