Donor Drive 2010 Goes Mobile! |  |
Are your friends on our list? Organ donations save lives. Yet Michigan is behind. We need more people to register to get to the same level of giving as the rest of the nation. Today, sadly, over 3,000 Michigan residents are waiting for transplants.
Tell your friends to text "organs" to 42660 to become an organ donor. People you know and love could benefit someday. Read stories of real people whose lives have been saved or improved by a transplant and those of people whose loved-ones gave the "gift of life" at www.giftoflifemichigan.org. |
