Seventy percent of us will need blood at some point during our lifetime. Some people don't donate because they are afraid of needles.
Blood is in our minds so much because it's so important.
It's a river of life flowing throughout our bodies. Without it, we would die. The number one reason people give for not donating blood is that they were never asked. Nearly everyone feels that way, but after they see how quick and painless the procedure is, the fear vanishes. It may be your child or parent, a sibling, a relative or a friend, or even you who will depend on the Gift of Life to be there when needed.
