Many people never really think about [blood donation] until they need it, which was exactly the case for me...that experience changed my life forever."

Mediaplanet today announces distribution of its latest cross-platform campaign “The Gift of Life,” educating readers on the need for readers to sign up as organ and tissue donors and give blood this holiday season. Currently, there are over 123,000 people waiting for a lifesaving organ. Every day, on average, 22 people will pass away waiting for a transplant that never comes.
