Emergency workers across our region are rallying to save lives through the Sirens for Life blood challenge.
Police officers, firefighters and paramedics are having a friendly competition to see who can donate the most blood this summer.
You can also rally behind them by donating blood on behalf of any of the emergency services.
Sue Nash is the Community Development Co-ordinator for Canadian Blood Services.
She tells Bayshore Broadcasting News the friendly competition is a way to collect more blood.
Nash admits summer is a challenging time to collect blood since people have vacations and busy schedules.
The goal of the campaign in Central Ontario is to collect 11 hundred units of blood.
The challenge continues until Labour Day.
