Paramedic students start a 'bloody' good tradition 

Published on 01 July, 2013 

CQUniversity Paramedic students have started what they hope will be an annual 'Bloody June' tradition, donating blood and funds to the Australian Red Cross.

Event organiser Cheniel Steinscherer said 'Bloody June' raised $194 from T-shirt sales and prompted 13 donations of blood and blood products.

"As a combined effort, CQUni student paramedics have potentially saved the lives of 39 Australians, as well as donated funds to an organisation that provides support for countless Australians and their families each year," Cheniel says.

"The dengue fever outbreaks in FNQ somewhat hampered our efforts as they would not accept donations of whole blood, only plasma, and to donate plasma you must have a donor history with the Red Cross. But this only makes us more excited to know everyone who was turned down to donate this year, will hopefully participate next year and make it an even more successful event."
