According to OneBlood, these are only a few of the many reasons to donate blood:

• Blood is needed every two seconds.
• One in three of us will need a blood transfusion.
• Approximately 41,000 units of blood are used each day in the United States.
• Since blood cannot be synthetically created, there is no substitute.
