It’s that time again, when Flowstars and friends roll up their sleeves and bleed for a good cause.
Flow will be hosting its first blood drive of 2014 on 21 February, at the Flow offices in Johannesburg. Everyone – from Flowstars to friends and family – is welcome.
Here are a few interesting facts about blood and blood donation, to give you the courage to bleed and save a life:
- Someone, somewhere in the world, needs blood every two seconds
- One pint of blood can save up to three lives
- Frozen plasma can be stored for up to a year
- Newborn babies have about one cup of blood in their bodies
- Your heart will pump enough blood in your lifetime to fill 200 train tanker cars
So be a hero, and come and save a life or three with just a little of your blood!
