Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. With each pint of blood that is donated, three lives can be saved! There is no substitute for blood. When a patient receives blood, it was given in advance by a generous donor.
