If the letters A, B and O vanished from daily life – your keyboard, road signs, familiar brands and locations we may see every day- like the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas sign” – you would notice. When type A, B, O or AB blood is missing from hospitals, a person’s life could be at risk.
A news release says, that’s why today, World Blood Donor Day, the American Red Cross is asking you to help ensure blood is there when a patient needs it by encouraging the public to join the #MissingTypes movement.
During the Missing Types campaign, the A’s, B’s and O’s are disappearing from brand logos, social media pages, signs and websites to draw attention to the critical role of every blood donor.
