World Blood Donor Day is day dedicated to "thanking and celebrating voluntary non-remunerated blood donors". It occurs on June 14 every year, the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, the creator of the ABO blood group system, for which he won the Nobel Prize. The first day was held in 2005.
One of the main goals of the World Blood Donor Day is to ensure the availability of 'safe blood' for transfusion.
We at THE UKGREAT SICKLE CELL FOUNDATION join the rest of the world to celebrate this day. We use this medium to urge you to visit the nearest blood bank and donate some of your blood and become a donor today. You don't know, you might be saving the life of someone close to you and even a sickle cell patient who needs a random routine of blood transfusion.
LETS JOIN HANDS AND "FREE A CELL"!!!
BECOME A BLOOD DONOR TODAY!!!
