Which means that if only 1 % more people—maybe you — became donors, it would add over thirty percent more blood to America's voluntary bloodstream. Think of it! But forget arithmetic. Just concen trate on one word. The word is Easy. Giving blood is easy. You hardly feel it (in fact, some people say they feel better physically after a blood donation). And, of course, everybody feels better emotionally. Because it’s a great feeling knowing your one easy blood donation has helped up to five other people to live. So how about it, 1 % of America? Are you going to lie down and be counted? Call your local Red Cross Chapter, or your community's volunteer blood bank. We need you now.
