April is National Donate Life Month














Darren went with me to a lovely Organ Donation Awareness Fundraising Luncheon. We sat with others who are in an organ donor group with me--all of us donated at the same hospital in Seattle.

The place setting at each seat included a lovely box of chocolates and a pack of Kleenex! You know you're in trouble when they assume (rightly so) that you'll need Kleenex...


















If you need a little inspiration to sign up as an organ donor, check out this video about John, a guy who is in the donor group and photo above. (Sorry, I can't include a pack of Kleenex with this blog post...)

I'm an organ donor! In my opinion, anyone who isn't is being selfish. My cousin was killed in a bicycle accident at age 8 and his eyes were donated to a child who can now see as a result! My cousin's mom still visits the donee annually and gets to look in her son's eyes. How great a story is that!
