ORGAN DONATION


Hey!  Guess what?  April is donate life month!  Go here to sign up.  Single file line please.  No pushing. What? You're scared?  No worries.  You don't make your donation until after you're dead.  (Unless you donate a kidney like one of my friends did.  How rock star is that?) Not feeling like Jagger? I know, I know. It's okay.  I understand. We don't like to think about dying and organ donation kind of makes you think about that, doesn't it?

I'll try to be as gentle with this next statement as I possibly can.  We're all going to die.  Hard to believe, huh? One day you will be gone, but maybe your heart will continue to beat in someone's chest so that they can live.  What a gift.  Think about it.

So, are you a donor?  Do you have a little heart on your driver's license?  Do your family members know of your wishes?  Do you know anyone on a transplant list?
