DENVER (CBS4)- When drivers in Colorado renew their driver’s license they can also renew their commitment to saving lives. People may hesitate because of misinformation.
This week is “Resolve To Donate Life” week when Colorado’s organ donation campaign works to dissolve myths surrounding the process.
Joe Templeton signed up to be an organ donor when he got his driver’s permit at age 15. At 22, Joe died of complications from a seizure.
“He always wanted to help people,” said Joe’s mother Robin Mitchell.
Joe lost his life but as an organ and tissue donor he helped save seven men.
