As SANBS was celebrating 25 years, the hospital saw it fit to support it.

Lauren le Roux of Netcare Margate said the target was 120 pints of blood.

To add to the fun on the day, managers and doctors were ‘jailed’ and had to reach a certain target before being released.

Prizes were also given away.

According to Le Roux, the turn out was great and half the target was met before midday.
