Running out of brotherly love

Gift of Life Donor Program | Patrice

Gift of Life is grateful to the members of the community that are dedicated to raising awareness for organ and tissue donation. Each person involved in Gift of Life has their own special way in reaching out to their neighbors, peers, and fellow community citizens to spread the importance of donation. From addressing mailing envelopes to public speaking engagements, every person who devoted time to promoting the mission OF Gift of Life and Donate Life America saves lives.

Today we share the story of one young adult who is raising awareness for organ donation by running for Brotherly Love- literally. Chris Praetzel shares why he has decided to run across America in honor of his brother, a transplant recipient.
