March is Red Cross Month and all month long FOX 47 News has been telling you about some of the many ways the organization helps out people in mid-Michigan.
Tonight, we're telling you how you can help -- by donating platelets.Platelets are the cells that form clots, and stop bleeding and they're crucial in cancer treatment. Chemotherapy can damage the bone marrow that produces platelets.
The Red Cross needs 2,500 platelet donors each day to meet the demand.For information on where to donate: https://www.redcrossblood.org/local-homepage/location/lansing-american-red-cross.html [redcrossblood.org]
