Power in the Pulse

Australian Red Cross - Radio

Proposition: Your blood is more powerful than you think.

SFX: The sound of a heart beats softly in the background.

Plant Manager: Can I get a status report?

Engineer: (Monotone) Power is at 130%.

Plant Manager: Where does the extra 30% go?

Engineer: It’s for emergencies, but it usually just sits there.

Plant Manager: (Concerned) Can’t we do something with it?

Engineer: Well, a few power stations are about to collapse from a lack of supply.

Plant Manager: (Shocked) How is that not an emergency?

Engineer: We have enough extra to save at least three. Should I send it over?

Plant Manager: (Almost Yelling) Yes! Send it! Lives are on the bloody line!

Engineer: Relax. It only takes a minute.

Brand V/O: One blood donation to the Australian Red Cross will save three lives. There’s power in that pulse. What are you doing with it?
