The American Red Cross is encouraging donors to donate blood during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support cancer patients and others.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and nearly 253,000 are expected to be diagnosed in 2017.

Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.
