During Red Cross Month
in March, the American
Red Cross encourages eli-
gible donors to join in its
lifesaving mission by giv-
ing blood.
Since 1943, every U.S.
president has designated
March as Red Cross Month
to recognize how the Red
Cross helps people across
the country and around the
world. Red Cross Month is
a celebration of support-
ers, who are the face of the
Red Cross in their com-
munities and bring hope
to people facing emergen-
cies.
Blood donor Timothy
Sheely knows the need
firsthand. His wife re-
quired 12 units of blood
during emergency surgery
following the birth of their
son. "If it had not been for
blood donors, she might
not have survived;' he
said. "Thanks to generous
blood donors, I still have a
wife and my kids still have
their mum. I can't possibly
thank those people in per-
