DONATE LIFE HOLLYWOOD - ALEX O'LOUGHLIN, HAWAII FIVE-O - PREMIERE

HERE IS A POST FROM OUR COLLEAGUES AT DONATE LIFE ILLINOIS.

Alex O’loughlin Remains a Donor Advocate

Alex O'loughlin accepts the 2010 Donate Life Hollywood Person of the Year award.

Despite the cancellation of CBS’ “Three Rivers,” Alex O’loughlin is still raising awareness for organ/tissue donation.  In “Three Rivers,” Alex played a transplant doctor and worked with actual doctors and Donate Life Hollywood representatives to be educated about the process. Alex trained to be a Donate Life Ambassador and was named Donate Life Hollywood’s 2010 Person of The Year for his commitment to sharing accurate information about donation and bringing attention to the issue.
In a recent interview with the Chicago Tribune’s Show Patrol columnist, Alex had this to say about his involvement with Donate Life America.
“But the great thing that came from that for me is my participation with Donate Life America, for whom I’ve become an ambassador and spokesperson. And I’ve been able to raise awareness. And I wish I could do more for them, but I’ve done a little bit and it’s just any chance to give back I think is really important, especially from people like us who have a really great job and are in the public eye.”
Its great to hear about a star who is dedicated to a cause and not just the charity du jour. Alex’s new show, “Hawaii Five-0″ is getting lots of attention so he may become a very high profile DLA ambassador soon. Will you be watching the premiere?
