Approximately every minute of everyday, someone in Canada needs blood. In fact, according to a recent poll, 52% of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment.
Donating blood is, in my opinion, one of the greatest random acts of kindness a person can do. When a person donates blood, they don't know who they are helping or why that person needs their blood. All the donor knows is that they are doing something that is helping to save a life.
Again I ask, if you had the opportunity to save someone's life, would you? Would you take that hour out of your day?
