Dear Friends & Supporters:Donate Life Month

 

Today marks not only the beginning of National Donate Life Month for organ donation awareness but also an exciting 4-part launch for THE POWER OF TWO, including:

Throughout April and beyond, each of these will help spread the word about THE POWER OF TWO film (coming soon!) and, more importantly, highlight the critical need for more organ donors. Please help us spread the message of saying "yes" to organ donation during National Donate Life Month by sharing the following with friends, family, social networks, and members of your community.

 
iPad Application: The Daily Gift

The Daily GiftWe are proud to announce the release of THE DAILY GIFT, an interactive video application available exclusively on Apple iPad tablets. The first iPad application focused on sharing organ donation and transplantation stories and inspiring people to become organ donors, THE DAILY GIFT premieres today and is available as a free download from Apple's App Store accessible through iTunes.

 

The Daily Gift will feature 30 VideoGrams -- short testimonials recorded by THE POWER OF TWO crew at the 2010 National Kidney Foundation (NKF) U.S. Transplant Games -- and provide interactive information on organ donation and transplantation in the United States as well as empower users to register as organ donors. Each day in April, we will release one new VideoGram inside THE DAILY GIFT iPad application, including stories from 22 states, 16 organ recipients, 11 donor family members, 6 living donors, 11 recipient family members, and 5 transplant professionals.

Change.org Pledge for Organ & Tissue Donation
Working with Change.org, we've crafted a special organ and tissue donation pledge for everyday citizens to commit to this important cause. This pledge is a powerful tool for demonstrating your support of the over 110,000 Americans currently on the transplant waiting list. Make a difference today that all can see: pledge to say "YES" to organ and tissue donation and encourage those around you to do the same.
Japan & The Power Of Two
SendaiTHE POWER OF TWO team feels a close bond with Japan.  Not only are the Stenzel Twins half-Japanese, major filming of THE POWER OF TWO began on the twins' 10-city book and speaking tour across Japan in October 2009.  Those 10 cities included Sendai, which was devastated by the recent earthquake and tsunami.  THE POWER OF TWO features people and locations from across Japan.  Our thoughts, hearts and prayers for recovery and rebirth go out to all those in Japan whose lives have been profoundly impacted by the devastation there.
