Share the gift of life

I meant to post this last week when my friend sent me the message below. Chris was indeed a wonderful friend and his generosity saved the lives of many people. Chris was taken from us on April 24, 2007.

"In honor of our dear friend Chris Reuther, taken from us 4 years ago this week, I invite you to join me in signing up as an organ donor. The fact that Chris himself was an organ donor made it possible for him to save and improve multiple lives and to live on in a very real way through those who received his donations. Chris was a kind, generous, inspiring person and friend, and he continues to be so as he lives on in our hearts."

April is National Donate Life Month - a time to remember that each one of us has the opportunity to give the gift of life. Please take 2 minutes of your time to view this video and share it with your friends and family.

Then, take another 3 minutes to sign up in your state as an organ, eye and tissue donor at organdonor.gov , and tell your friends and family to do the same. By saying “yes” to donation, you are offering hope to the 110,000 men, women, and children waiting for a second chance.
