Source: www.titans.com.auThe Gold Coast Titans are getting behind the Red Cross Blood Service's "Donate for Your State" challenge, with players to wear red adidas socks and the Titanettes to shake red pom poms at Saturday night's clash against the Wests Tigers at Skilled Park.
Jetstar Titans duo Mark Minichiello (NSW) and Ashley Harrison (QLD) have both experienced first hand the impact of donating blood in different ways and are urging both Queenslanders and New South Welshmen to get behind the cause.
Statistics from the Red Cross Blood Service show that one in three Australians will require blood in their lifetime but only one in 30 currently donate blood.
Minichiello knows first hand the importance of donating blood after his wife Milena had to have a blood transfusion after giving birth to the couple's first child Luca.
"My wife has been a regular donor since she was back at school,'' said Minichiello.
"We had a pretty tough time with the birth of our first son, Luca. She haemorrhaged pretty badly and lost a lot of blood. Thankfully there was enough blood there for a blood transfusion as she needed a fair bit of blood to get back on her feet.
"I'm very grateful that the Red Cross and the blood bank had enough blood there and I think it's a great cause for everyone to get out there and support.
"Especially with my wife being in the health profession, she knew the importance of giving blood and it came back full circle to help her out when she needed it.''
Minichiello said it was great that the entire Titans team would be wearing red socks to raise public awareness for the cause.
"The whole team will be wearing the red socks and I think it's a really great cause just to appeal to the public to get out there and donate blood. It's very important as there's a lot of sick people out there that need blood at different stages so I believe if we can do as much as we can to help the cause, then we are doing our little bit.''
Harrison's wife Majella is also a regular donor and the Maroons State of Origin forward urged Queenslanders to get behind the cause.
"My wife is a pretty regular donor and I always see her going off to get blood taken. It's just good to see we're going to support the cause and donating blood for their state by wearing the red adidas socks,'' said Harrison.
"The cheerleaders are going to have red pom poms as well so I think it'll be a bit of a sea of red out here tomorrow (Saturday) night.''

Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have secured another coup for the future with Queensland State of Origin forward Ashley Harrison today extending his contract with the club.
The ultra-consistent Harrison, who has played 69 games with the Jetstar Titans since joining the club in 2008, has agreed to extend his existing contract by a further year which will see him remain on the Gold Coast until the end of the 2013 season.
The 30-year-old has been an integral member of Queensland's successful Origin team since 2008 and said he was eager to remain a key part of what the Jetstar Titans are building as the squad takes on a new look from next season.
"I see a big future for the Titans and wanted to be part of what the club is building,'' said Harrison, who currently leads the club's Paul Broughton Medal standings after Round 16 before the voting goes behind close doors for the final 10 rounds.
"My agent told me I had interest from other clubs but my loyalty to the Titans and to Carty (Coach John Cartwright) is strong.
"I re-established my Origin career with the Titans and I know that moving forward the Titans will be a force in the competition which is why I am excited to be re-signing.''
Jetstar Titans Coach John Cartwright said Harrison was the ultimate professional who led by example for the rest of the squad.
"It's great to have 'Harro' staying with the club. Everyone within our organisation knows what he brings to the team and how tough he is,'' said Cartwright.
"You really notice him in the tight situations and he's always willing to do the hard work when it needs to be done.''
Jetstar Titans Managing Director Michael Searle said Harrison was a tough competitor who would help the balance of the playing roster as it takes on a different look over the next two seasons with the arrival of several fresh faces in Jamal Idris (aged 20), Beau Champion (24), Nate Myles (25) and Luke Douglas (24).
"Ashley has been a key part of the club's successful finals campaigns last year and in 2010 so it's great that we've been able to keep him here on the Gold Coast for a further year,'' said Searle.
"He's very professional in everything he does and is one of our most consistent players.
"With some new players coming into the mix next year, his leadership and experience will be a valuable asset for the club moving forward.''
Harrison, a Norths Aspley junior, has played 228 career NRL matches since making his debut for the Brisbane Broncos in 2000 and is set to play his 12th Origin match in next Wednesday's deciding Origin match at Suncorp Stadium.
