Description
Behind every blood donation is a story of hope, resilience, and life.
In honor of World Blood Donor Day, the AABB Foundation invites you to join us in crossing the finish line of our virtual walk/run anytime between May 14 and June 14.
Every step you take raises awareness for the critical need for blood donations, honors the heroes who donate, and fuels innovative research that makes transfusion medicine and biotherapies safe, available, and effective worldwide.
Take the first step today by signing up and help make a difference in the lives of patients and donors. From forming a team to participating solo, or joining an existing team, there’s a place for everyone in the blood and biotherapies community, and it starts with you.
About World Blood Donor Day
Every year, transfusions of blood and blood products save millions of lives, but many countries struggle with an inadequate supply of safe blood according to the World Health Organization. To help encourage blood donations, the World Health Organization started World Blood Donor Day, which occurs each year on June 14.
By participating in this virtual walk/run, you’re not just moving—you’re making a difference. You’ll help raise awareness, celebrate donors, and support the AABB Foundation in advancing research that makes transfusion medicine and biotherapies safe, available, and effective worldwide.
