Know the Truth About Donation
Think you're too old to be an organ donor? Or that the rich and famous get priority with transplants? Don't be fooled by myths about organ and tissue donation.
It’s the Greatest Gift You Can Give.
If you needed an organ transplant to save your life, can you imagine how grateful you would be to the people who have your back? The problem is that the need for organ transplants rises faster than the number of donors. More than 140 people are added to the nation’s organ transplant waiting list every day, and thousands die every year waiting for an organ that never arrives. You can change that.
