Adrenaline enthusiasts brave a different kind of challenge.

Colleagues from an Aberdeen-based urban sports charity have swapped BMXs for biscuits and climbing for cuppa’s to give blood together.

Transition Extreme's Youth and Community Co-ordinator Linzi Harrow set herself the task of encouraging colleagues to give blood.

Linzi said, 'The whole process for organising the group donation was so simple. The staff are so friendly and supportive. We can't wait to give blood as a team again.'

First time donor Sean Marnoch said about his experience, 'Everyone is really welcoming and it’s so easy to do. I wish I’d done it sooner.'

For Youth Worker Cameron Wilson, the experience was adrenaline-fuelled for a different reason. He is terrified of needles. Cameron decided to use giving blood as an opportunity to tackle his fears head on.

Cameron said, 'For a person who suffers from a severe phobia of needles, the staff really put me at ease. They walked through the whole process and made me feel really comfortable.'

Congratulations on facing your fears Cameron and huge thanks to all the team at Transition Extreme for giving blood.
