One year ago, Derek (my cousin) lost his life but gave life to others. Today was a sad day but I decided to give a speech at work. I gave a speech about the importance of donating organs, tissues, and corneas. Remembering the impact Derek had on the lives of those he never met made me want to spread the word about transpants.
If you live in Illinois, please consider adding yourself to the new organ/tissue donor registry. You must be registered in order to donate. You can register here:
