In 1996, part of his left leg was amputated following a farming accident. &#8220;Through the surgeries, I received 13 units of blood,&#8221; he said. Weidner now gives blood as often as he can.<\/p>\n<p>Donors of all blood types are needed this May. Every day, the Red Cross must collect approximately 14,000 blood donations to meet the needs of trauma patients and others with serious medical conditions. In Indiana-Ohio Region alone, the Red Cross needs about 550 donors each day to support patients at more than 80 area hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule your appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors can then also visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcrossblood.org\/cedarfair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">redcrossblood.org\/cedarfair<\/a> to enter to win one of two grand prize packages for four to Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm in California or Cedar Point in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming blood donation opportunities<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adams County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5\/16\/2016: 2 p.m. &#8211; 8 p.m., Lehman Park Pavilion, 667 Lehman St, Berne<\/li>\n<li>5\/23\/2016: 11:30 a.m. &#8211; 5:30 p.m., Riverside Center, 231 East Monroe St, Decatur<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5\/16\/2016: 11 a.m. &#8211; 5 p.m., Fort Wayne Blood Donation Center, 1212 E California Rd, Fort Wayne<\/li>\n<li>5\/16\/2016: 1:15 p.m. &#8211; 5:15 p.m., Lutheran Hospital Blood Donation Center, 7900 W.
