"National Blood Donor Month is a great opportunity for us to thank donors who help us maintain an adequate blood supply," said Mardio Sedlock, interim chief executive officer for the ARC's Southern Blood Services Region. "We also want to encourage those who have never donated before to consider giving an hour of their time to help save lives."
