Have you saved a life today?

Did you put on your superhero cape this week and save someone's life?

• Perhaps you pulled someone from a burning car?
• Performed CPR until an ambulance arrived?
• Rescued someone from drowning?

Not this week? Well, did you know you can save up to 3 lives if you simply give blood? You can! It may not make the news, but this simple act is just as important.

It's fast, it doesn't really hurt and you get free cookies.

Have an excuse? See if one of your reasons is listed in the Red Cross' Top 10 excuses.

I used to donate at the blood drives when they would come to SAS, but the waits were way too long. I found that there's a Red Cross Blood Donation Center (3700 Regency Parkway) within walking distance to my house in Cary. With it being so close, it's easy to schedule regular donations up to 5 times a year! With an appointment, I'm in and out in 45 minutes or less.

There are many other Blood Donation Centers in the Triangle. Here's are some near you:

Cary Blood Donation Center
3700 Regency Parkway
Cary, NC 27511

Raleigh Blood Donation Center
100 N. Peartree Lane
Raleigh, NC 27610

North Raleigh Blood Donation Center
8301 Bandford Way
Raleigh, NC 27613

I'm asking the thousands of dads in the Arapahoe Nation to step up and make a difference! Give blood this week and make sure to schedule your next appointment while you're there!
