Celebrating National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness this April!

65 Red Roses | Michelle
This month we are celebrating awareness of organ and tissue donation across North America! April 22 to 28th marks National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week in Canada, and April is National Donate Life Month in the US.

This means that all month long there are great opportunities to show your support for organ donation both online and off! Our friends at BC Transplant reported yesterday a record-breaking 222 registrations in one day- we’re hoping that will our collective efforts they’ll surpass that by the end of the month!With two screenings coming up in Victoria this month and several more in the planning stages, we’re using April as an opportunity to share Eva’s story with new audiences and motivate them to register as donors and talk to their friends and family about the film. We’re also sharing great stories like this video from Global TV, about Cecilia Ferreira, a young woman from Burnaby who received a heart transplant at 13.
