FROM OUR COLLEAGUE MERV SHEPPARD'S TRANSPLANT NETWORK. WE ENCOURAGE OUR READERS TO STOP BY MERV'S INFORMATIVE BLOG OFTEN TO LEARN ABOUT DONATION AWARENESS IN CANADA.
As a volunteer for Trillium Gift of Life in Ontario I'm pleased to post this announcement.
Don't miss this event on the theme "A Faith Journey Towards the Gift of Life". Please join us at the Heintzman House in Thornhill, Ontario on September 28th at 7pm to educate yourself on how faith informs your decision to be an organ and tissue donor.
Hospice Thornhill, in partnership with Trillium Gift of Life Network(TGLN), invites you to attend our multi faith discussion. The question that will be explored, "Is Faith Holding You Back From Organ & Tissue Donation?," recognizes the importance of religious beliefs in making the decision to donate organs and tissue.
“You Have the Power to Save Lives – Register to be an organ and tissue donor & Tell Your Loved Ones of Your Decision”

Your generosity can save or enhance the lives of up to fifty people with heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas and small intestine transplants (seeallotransplantation). One tissue donor can help by donating skin, corneas, bone, tendon, ligaments and heart valves
Has your life been saved by an organ transplant? "Pay it forward" and help spread the word about the need for organ donation - In the U.S. another person is added to the national transplant waiting list every 11 minutes and 18 people die each day waiting for an organ or tissue transplant. Organs can save lives, corneas renew vision, and tissue may help to restore someone's ability to walk, run or move freely without pain. Life Begins with You
