- Every 2 minutes someone is Western Washington needs blood.
- And Bloodworks Northwest must register around 900 donors per weekday.
Just this past weekend, a 6 year old boy received a? heart transplant and required 18 units of blood and 22 units of plasma to successfully pull through his surgery. Because of blood donors like you and a heart donor, this little boy and his family have been given the gift of life and more memories to come.
