They are also seeking 25 plasma donations – a slightly longer process where just the blood’s platelets are removed – on Monday and Wednesday.
Orange City Rugby Union club and their cross-town rivals Orange Emus are in the midst of a three-month blood challenge, with a similar competition also being fought out by some of the city’s financial services providers.
