“I have been a donor since I was 18. I can’t do it anymore since I’m over 70 years old. When Jean-Pierre Pillon, member of the coordination committee for Operation My Blood for Others, with Hervé Lecat, contacted me, I did not hesitate for a second. It seemed normal to me for Usom and its sections to lend a hand for this essential operation ”, indicates Kléber Achard, president of the executive committee of the Mondeville Workers’ Sports Union (Usom).
