For his birthday, Osoyoos resident Tom Fritz got a unique gift from his youngest child.

“I’m going to donate blood for your birthday,” Christine Fritz, who lives in Clayton Heights on the Langley-Surrey border, told him when she phoned him with best wishes on his 72nd birthday.

“Thanks,” he said.

On Saturday, March 11, at the Canadian Blood Services clinic at the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, Christine made her eighth donation.
