Bleed 4 Brent

Only eight months have gone by since Daniel Whitby lost his best mate, 20-year-old Brent Holland, to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and already “Bleed 4 Brent” the Red Cross Blood Donor group Brent’s family and friends started in March is at the top of the Gladstone tally for most blood donations in 2017. 

Brent was a local lad and an apprentice at Gladstone Ports Corp when he was diagnosed with leukaemia and flown to Brisbane at 19.  He spent the next 9 months having chemo, radiation and a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
