Midway through the 10th annual Sirens for Life blood donor challenge, Edmonton takes the lead. Residents are encouraged to keep on booking appointments throughout the challenge, which runs until Feb. 4.
Sirens for Life is a month-long challenge that pits Edmonton’s Fire, Police and EMS teams against their Calgary counterparts to see which city can bring in the most blood donations.
The city that donates the most blood by Feb. 4 wins bragging rights until 2013!
Here are the mid-challenge results:
Calgary : 3,129 donations
Edmonton: 3,175 donations
How much blood do we need?
- The goal of Sirens for life is to help Canadian Blood Services collect 7,000 blood donations in each city through the duration of the challenge.
