Leave a legacy with Canada’s Lifeline

“I know that when people continually give to Canadian Blood Services, it means more healthy futures for other kids and families just like ours.” – Deanna, mother of blood recipient, Cole.

We know that giving is personal and choosing how your legacy lives on in the future even more so. Leaving a gift to Canadian Blood Services in your will enables your legacy to endure and sustains Canada’s Lifeline, because the need for blood and blood products never stops.

Especially for kids like Cole, who received his first blood transfusion at two months old and will require many more throughout his life. Cole is just one example of the thousands of patients who will rely on Canada’s Lifeline – now, and in the future.
