Ever think about what it means to be an organ donor? Ever wonder how to do it? Or even if you could donate, given the need? At one time or another you will be faced with this decision. Whether it’s at the time you recieve your license for the first time, or when you have a family, or perhaps if someone in your family becomes ill and is in need of a donation. Here are my 5 reasons why you should think even more about it.
1. it HELPS!
Each organ and tissue donor saves or improves the lives of as many as 50 people. Giving the “Gift of Life” may lighten the grief of the donor’s own family. Many donor families say that knowing other lives have been saved helps them cope with their tragic loss.
Get Started
- Register with your state donor registry, if available.
- Designate your decision on your driver’s license.
- Sign a donor card and carry it with you.
- Talk to your Family. To help your family understand and carry out your wishes, sit down with your loved ones and tell them about your decision to be an organ and tissue donor. They can serve as your advocate and may be asked to give consent for donation or provide information to the transplant team.

It isn’t often I watch movies, nonetheless actually take away anything from them. But this week I’ve done both! I have the knot in the stomach, hard to swallow feeling in the back of my throat just before you well up and tear, and the overall anxious feeling you get when passing a bad accident. I have these feelings after watching “Yes Man” starring Jim Carrey and “Seven Pounds” starring Will Smith. Although completely different genre films they share one very striking similarity. They offer the possibility that if you wanted to, you can make a HUGE difference to people. Now I know what you’re thinking. What can you possibly take away from a Jim Carrey movie? Well, a lot really. Or what movie Will Smith is in nowadays isn’t good? Touché. At least hear me out.
With most movies being released today having either terrible or hard to follow plots, or worse yet…NO PLOT. These two films offer inspiration. One using comedy and romance to lead the way and the other using tragedy as a path forward. Without giving the movies away I’ll offer what these movies have that make me want to be better! Better at life, being a friend, and better to other people. Read more…
