MACON, Ga. — January marks National Blood Donor Month.

The American Red Cross supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood.
Retired nurse Rita Wilson says giving blood helps you as well as others in need.
"It's a good thing for you also because it can tell if your iron is low, or if you're having high-blood pressure issues, so come out and give blood. It saves lives," Wilson said.
One blood donation can save up to three lives.
The Red Cross says every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs blood or platelets.
