India needs new kind of heroes!

We don't have enough new donors coming forward to give blood and save lives. So #BleedForIndia. This Republic Day, pledge to donate blood to save a life.

You just need an hour of your time to give blood. The above map shows blood donation centres in Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata taking blood donations on January 26, Republic Day. They are hosted by blood banks and organizations which rely on these donations to ensure enough stock of blood to help local patients in need.

Why you need to give blood?

Blood cells have a very short shelf life, ranging from 7 to 35 days. So regular donations from all blood groups are needed. The blood you give is not just used in accident/emergency cases, it helps save lifes of patients with cancer, people undergoing operations and those who need frequent blood transfusions to stay alive! Be the hero for these people by pledging to give your blood!
