As we seek to increase the number of people who are registered to be donors, it’s important to stop and recognize what this actually means. This means we are asking families to be unbelievably courageous, generous and caring at a most difficult time. At the end of one life, to give the gift to possibly 8 others – it’s difficult to comprehend. Organ donors and their families are extraordinary.

On this Mother’s Day, talk to your family about organ donation, and your wishes. Be inspired by Jim’s story and register.
