April is National Donate Life Month. Have you signed the back of your driver’s license? You can be a lifesaver! Did you know that there are more than 3,500 people in the Upper Midwest waiting for an organ, eye, and/or tissue donation. Nationally, there are over 106,000 people who need an organ transplant. Unfortunately, 17 people die every day as a result of not receiving the organ or organs they needed. The most incredible detail about organ donation is that age, race, ethnicity, religion, or health (in most cases) don’t matter. Anyone can be a donor, everyone should consider themselves a potential organ, eye, and tissue donor. Consider signing up today to make a difference and be an organ donor. You can go to www.organdonor.gov Remember, you can provide lifesaving organs to as many as eight people. Every registration counts.
