National Organ Donor Awareness Month! (Read 379 times)

I probably should've posted this in the beginning of the month but anyway...better now than never. I had my liver transplant at the age of 13, its almost 17 years later. I wouldnt be here to day chatting with you people and running if it hadnt been for my donor. She was an 11 year old from Arkansas. I dont know her name or anything else about her but she remains in my heart everyday. If her family hadnt said yes to organ donation, I wouldnt be alive today. I owe everything I've become and my accomplisments to her and her family.

Got my heart symbol on mine... marrow registry too! And don't forget to donate blood whenever you can.

Thanks, Peach. My MIL needs a kidney so, I appreciate your fervor in creating more awareness for organ donation. Glad you are a recipient too and to have gotten to *know* you here. You're an inspiration.
