Camilla has designed bright and bold bandages for donors between February 1 and March 5 to make them look and feel better than when they donated blood.

Those who donate blood at a Lifeblood center between February 1 and March 5 will be wrapped in Camilla’s bold pink and red animal print bandages.

The cause is close to Camilla’s heart being a frequent donor before her breast cancer diagnosis in 2018 and to cancer patients being the biggest users of Australia’s blood supply.

“I know how helpless others can be when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, and that’s why I’m so excited about the Lifeblood campaign for February Give Blood.” Fight Cancer,’ Franks said ahead of World Cancer Day on February 4.

The Sydney designer said she “jumped” at the opportunity to spread the message about the importance of blood donation which can help save up to three lives.

To fans of the designer, the bandage will be instantly recognizable as Camilla’s creation which she says was designed to celebrate ‘those who have selflessly given blood’.

‘It highlights how much of Australia’s donated blood is used by cancer patients and reminds us all why donating blood is a wonderful way to support someone living with cancer.’
