I have a friend who recently had a liver transplant. Through him and his family I've seen just how horrific it is to be waiting for an organ. I hope no one reading this ever has to go through such an experience. But whether or not it is someone we know, it's certain that this same horrible wait is being experienced by countless other families.
So I'd like to use this space to tell everyone about National Donor Day:
------------------------------
As National Donor Day approaches, visit OrganDonor.gov to learn about donating organs, tissue, marrow, blood, and other life-saving matter.
If you would like to become a donor, fill out an organ and tissue donation card, register with your State Donor Registry, and convey your wishes to your family. To donate blood, visit the Red Cross and find a donation site near you.
