Maxime Dely’s 2025: 7 Donations, 5 Liters, and the Power of Action Over Talk
Maxime Dely,ย Sales and Application Specialist in Therapeutic Apheresis and Cell Therapy, shared a post onย LinkedIn:
“๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ โ ๐ง๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ. ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ.
2025 is coming to an end.
A dense year. An intense one. One of those years that leaves a mark.
A year rich in events, but above all rich in ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. Some obvious, others uncomfortable. Choices that paid off, and others that required accountability, adjustment, sometimes starting over. Good or bad, they all had one thing in common: ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
I understood something essential this year: we donโt grow when everything goes well, but when ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
Moving forward isnโt about avoiding mistakes; itโs about coming out of them clearer, stronger, and more aligned.
And then, 2025 also marked a very concrete first step for me.
This year, I started making my ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. Quietly. Without expectations. Simply with the desire to be useful.
7 plasma donations
5 liters in total
5 liters that will go to patients, somewhere, at a moment when they truly need it.
I want this gesture to go beyond symbolism. I want it to become aย ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐, something regular, almost natural. Because acting, sometimes, is simply giving a small part of yourself for something bigger.
For 2026, I have a simple wish: that it be a year focused on ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐๐น๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐น๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐, always driven by the same desireโto act rather than promise.
I wish you all wonderful end-of-year holidays
Take care of yourselvesโฆ and dare to take action.”
