Don't wait until you're dead! Become a living donor today! Though many of us believe that organ and tissue donation is a good thing, less than 25% of Ontarians are registered as donors. That number may be even lower depending on where you live. There are about 1,500 people in Ontario who are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and just a little over 1000 of those are waiting for a kidney donation. Did you know that you have 2? And you can easily live with only 1? By donating a kidney you could save a life! I created this page to encourage all of my family and friends to register their consent to become donors and to consider becoming a living donor. Please take two minutes and register – you can do it right now, from the link on this page. You can also check to make sure you are registered, if you're not sure. It's a selfless act that could one day save eight lives and enhance 75 more through tissue donation. <3
