Run Like A Hero holds an annual 5K event in memory of Caden Bowles and other transplant recipients like him. Caden was born with a heart defect and received a heart transplant as an infant. By age 11, Caden needed a replacement heart transplant and unfortunately passed away while on the transplant waiting list.<\/p>\n<p>Organ transplant surguries can require 10 to 40 units of blood products. Blood donations help make organ transplants posible. Run Like A Hero invites the community to donate blood on Thursday, June 23, at the Red Cross Fort Wayne Blood Donation Center, and to join the Run Like A Hero 5K walk and run on Saturday, June 25 at 9 a.m. at Summit Middle School in Fort Wayne. More details on the 5K can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runlikeahero.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">runlikeahero.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hosting this blood drive in honor of patients who need a transplant is a wonderful way to raise awareness on the importance of blood and organ donors, as well as help local patients,&#8221; said Tracy Fox, market manager for the Red Cross.<\/p>\n<p>Blood and platelet donations are needed every day for patients with many serious medical conditions. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.<\/p>\n<p>This blood drive comes at an important time of year. Blood and platelet donations often decline during the summer months when busy summer schedules and vacation plans can cause some donors to be less available to give. Additionally, blood donations at high school and college blood drives, which account for as much as 20 percent of blood donations during the school year, decline when many schools are out of session. But, the need for blood remains constant all summer long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Run Like a Hero Blood Drive<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Thursday, June 23<\/em><br \/>\nNoon to 6 p.m.<br \/>\nRed Cross Fort Wayne Blood Donation Center<br \/>\n1212 E.
