This Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we at the Organ & Tissue Donation Blog are grateful to our organ & tissue donors, donor families and hospital staff who take care of potential donor patients and families in their time of need.  We are grateful for the transplant professionals who advocate for the the over 112,000 on the transplant wait-list and provided care to those who have received life-saving transplants.  With gratitude we honor those in the donation and transplant community who work tirelessly in paving the way for donation. We are grateful to our Donate Life Ambassadors for all their hard work in educating the community.

We express our gratitude to our readers and supporters for being knowledgeable about donation, for sharing your stories and for registering to be organ donors and encouraging others to do the same.

Finally, we are grateful to you for making the Organ and Tissue Donation Blog successful beyond our wildest imagination.

Please enjoy this Thanksgiving season and to reflect on those lives you have affected in a positive way.

THANK YOU!
