Come, walk with us - Toronto

Toronto Star


We are a group of young volunteers based out of GTA, and have formed a non-profit organization AMAR KARMA ORGAN DONATION SOCIETY which is designated to create awareness about organ donation by involving communities in various languages. Amar stands for -Eternal, Karma stands for- Actions.

- Toronto has lowest rate of organ donors in Ontario
- Every 3 days one person dies waiting for organ transplant in Ontario.
- 1500 people are waiting today to receive a call from life, an organ match!

We MUST stand up for those who have been waiting for years and take their message around to communities; therefore we have organized a SAVE AND SHARE walk

ü To create awareness about organ and tissue donation
ü To spread the message of those who wait every day!
ü A walk for another chance of life!

This is an excellent karma to not only help those in needs, but also engage our youth in promoting this ‘Art of sharing’ by volunteering in our campaigns.

JOIN THE CONVOY TO SAVE AND SHARE WALK IN TORONTO
July 21, 3pm-6pm
From Exhibition place to Harbour Front

Please wear Green colour shirts signifying life. Or you can get green shirts for a small cost at the event location.

We seek help from the members of the community for refreshments at the walk along with sponsorships for the print materials to raise awareness.

For more information: call 416-444-4803
