Giving the Gift of Life...
Giving the gift of life is the ultimate gift one person can give to another. It's an incredible way to find some good in a tragic situation and many families find comfort knowing that their loved one saved a life when his/hers couldn't be saved. There is also the possibilty of being a 'Live Donor'. These are people who give blood, bone marrow, a kidney or even part of a liver in some cases. Transplantation techniques and practices are continually evolving and it is truly amazing what can be done to save a life. However, the need for donors is growing faster than donors are being made available. The time is now to say "yes" to donation.
Did you know that one donor can save or enhance the lives of over fifty people? Through organ, eye and tissue donation, a donor can give a heart, a liver, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, intestines, corneas, bone, bone marrow, blood, blood vessels, ligaments, muscle and more!
The best thing to do is to educate yourself. Find out the truth about donation and make an informed decision. Dispell the myths...There are many. Especially, talk to your friends and family and tell them what your decision is. They are the ones who really need to know. Then, if you decide that donation is for you, go to www.donatelifetoday.com and register your donation wishes. Go to your local Blood Bank and make a blood or platelet donation and sign up to be a bone marrow donor. You really can make a difference!

The Boy with the Golden Heart
There once was a boy who had a golden heart.
He lived happily and the heart beat to the rhythm of his life.
There came a day when the golden heart skipped a beat and the boy’s life came to it’s end.
With his last breath, the boy laid down his life and gave the heart to another.
Now the golden heart beats to the rhythm of it’s new life.
The boy’s spirit is free and his legacy lives on.
