We are especially excited about the people that registered as organ donors! If you haven't yet, you can register HERE. In some states, just signing your Driver's License is not enough. Please be sure! Let us know if you decide to be a hero!
It seems like a good time to talk about the impact of organ donation. I think most people don't take the few minutes (depending on your state) to register because they don't realize the HUGE IMPACT it makes.
First, it costs you nothing. It costs your family nothing for you to be a donor. You can have an open casket, even after tissue and cornea donation.
...PLUS YOU MAY SAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE'S LIVES!
How cool is that! Have you ever saved someone's life? Do you realize that registered organ donors can say, "Well, not yet, but I plan to."
I have also met so many people now whose family members have been donors. Even though they have a tragic loss, they consistently say how meaningful it is that their loved one helped save someone else's life. Wow.
Reading your stories has truly inspired us. It's actually funny for us to be on AOL's philanthropy page since it's YOU who are becoming heroes through organ donations. YOU'RE the philanthropists! We're just hero recruiters.
We can't wait to get on the road and meet some of you! Thank You.
