Utica Roadrunners Blood Drive

6 /100

Join us in the UR #SleevesUp campaign and go for a run in another’s vein. You will be supporting Phyllis and others in the community who are in desperate need of blood. Help make a difference by saving a life.

AML leukemia is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow with excess immature white blood cells.  AML progresses rapidly, with myeloid cells interfering with the production of normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. People with AML often receive antibiotics to prevent and treat infections and will need transfusions of red blood cells and platelets throughout chemotherapy.

Only 37% of the population is eligible to give blood with the need of every one in four people needing a blood transfusion at some point in their life.
