National Kidney Month

Are you an organ donor? If your beliefs allow it, you should be. Organ donation is an amazing gift. In fact, we've seen it work. Our little sister donated a kidney to our dad last year. We like to tease her about her one kidney and call her "our Father's Keeper" - it's all fun and games until someone loses a kidney. Yikes. Here are the kidney donor and recipients circa 1982. So cute!

March is National Kidney Month and you never know when you're gift will save a life. Fast facts (from organdonor.gov):

• 117,299 people are waiting for an organ
• 18 people will die each day waiting for an organ
• 1 organ donor can save up to 8 lives

Becoming a registered organ donor is easy. You can visit organdonor.gov and register. Easy peasy!
