Contrary to popular belief, I am not a superhero. Yeah, I’m pretty friggin’ awesome. But I can’t leap buildings in a single bound, I’m hardly as powerful as a locomotive, and I don’t go faster than a speeding bullet (or even a slowly moving [shopping cart](/tag/shopping-carts/)).

But what I can do is give blood. And [donating blood saves lives](http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood?ref=bklyner.com). In fact, one donation can help as many as three people in medical centers across the globe. Despite that most of us have a little extra blood to spare, there are constant shortages as demand for complicated, but life-saving, medical treatments increase (a liver transplant, for example, can use 120 units of donated blood).

There are frequent blood drives in our area, not to mention anyone can[ donate any time at Coney Island Hospital](/coney-island-hospital-donate-bloo/). And now, **parents from P.S. 52 have arranged for a neighborhood drive today. From noon until 6 p.m., you can stop by 2675 East 29th Street (between Avenue Z and Voorhies Avenue) and help save lives.**

I may be no superhero … ::dramatic pause to emphasize cheesiness:: … but we can all be heros.
