So just what are we talking about here?
We’re talking about why blood donation should be first on your list of volunteer efforts if your health will allow you to do so. Blood donation isn’t just important; it’s life saving.
Consider this alarming statistic. The average person donates about a pint of blood in one sitting. That’s just one pint. However, a victim of an automobile accident may need as many as 100 pints of blood.
And that’s not all. A single donation of blood may be able to save the lives of up to three people. In other words, the blood of one person can give life to a small family.
Makes you think, right?
Reasons like this prove that it doesn’t take much to be a hero. You don’t have to do anything drastic. In fact, you can save a life today. All you have to do is take one to three hours of your time to donate your blood.
