Red Cross calls for healthy blood donors following severe weather in the midst of the Pandemic Feb 22, 2021 at 07:00 am by WGNS
Following record-breaking cold and winter storms that forced the cancellation of more than 10,000 blood and platelet donations in parts of the U.S. in February, the American Red Cross is urging healthy individuals, especially those with type O blood, to give now to ensure blood products are available for patient emergencies when help cannot wait.
Everyday thousands of patients rely on lifesaving blood donations. The need for blood is constant, even during ice and snowstorms and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ensure lifesaving patient care is not impacted, individuals are urged to make appointments to donate in the coming days and weeks by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
The 2021 Rock ânâ Roll Nashville Marathon and Half-Marathon will be postponed until the fall because of the pandemic, race organizers announced. The race had been scheduled for April 24-25.
