This year, 170,000 Americans will die from a traumatic injury. Trauma is the #1 cause of death for children and adults ages 1 to 44.
Hemorrhage, or massive bleeding, is responsible for
nearly half of those deaths and for the majority of preventable deaths of our soldiers in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Several medical solutions have the potential to control massive bleeding, but without adequate funding for further development and clinical trials, life-saving treatments are elusive dreams.
Help Fund Hemorrhage Research Today, and Stop the Bleeding.
