Arizona Cardinals Crucial Catch

More than 25% of the U.S. blood supply is needed by patients battling cancer. This September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Blood Cancer Awareness Month, nonprofit Vitalant urges all eligible donors to help maintain a robust blood supply for patients who need transfusions by giving blood. Blood and platelet transfusions from healthy blood donors can help replace the blood cells destroyed by cancer and its treatment. In the U.S., leukemia is the most common type of blood cancer among those under age 20.

Blood donors help people like Kevin, who recently survived leukemia with the help of blood donors.  During football season, he felt a lot of pain but was focused on helping his high school team achieve a state championship. At the end of the season, Kevin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. They later came to realize that Kevin played six games with leukemia. Just like he fought hard to win sports, he battled his cancer like a champion!
