He recently completed his 457th donation after reaching the 450 milestone in March.

Mr Patman started donating while he was at university in Sydney, but said it had since become part of his regular routine.

‘Once I graduated as a physiotherapist and returned to Perth, I always worked in acute hospitals and was exposed to sick patients, so I have constantly seen the need for donations,’ he said.
